Updates from the mill. We spin our own yarn and process our own and fleeces from other people.
#wool waterfall. The carding process is simple yet so effective. Really enjoying the simple things that life brings.

Really good visual showing wool spinning under the woollen system. The tiny transverse fibre along the length of the single. It's part of what gives woollen spun #yarn extra warmth.

Trying something different this Friday afternoon. I have a lot of leftover singles which never completed their journey into #yarn. I've cut up those singles and blended them with some Cheviot and recarded, drafted and are now spinning.

The point where roving is drafted right before the twist is inserted on the spin frame. This is the Light Wood Fae #yarn spinning as a Fingering/4ply.

About half the work I do in the mill is working on raw fleeces for processing into #roving or #yarn. I'm going to post the steps in the whole process. So follow along for all the excitement! 🤗

After dealing with the aftermath of flash flooding in the shed, finally getting some 100 Yarn plyed for this weekend! This is a beautiful heathered rust colour #yarn.

Currently in California. Had to stop in at Anzula for a skein of 100% American Targhee. Beautiful #yarn!

Clare finished the Pressed Flowers pullover with our grey Corriedale #yarn and our colour change 100 #Yarn. Given that it's 100% reclaimed fibre the colours are more subtle.

Tomorrow we're heading off to the Southern Highlands Woolfest at Mittagong RSL. We've got lots of #yarn!

Dark Wood Fae #yarn is spun. Out of curiosity I decided to try a lighter version too. Going to call the lighter version Light Wood Fae. It's half way between the High Fae and the Dark Wood Fae. #wool

Little bit of imposter syndrome today in the #mill: dyeing some reclaimed fibre for our 100 Yarn in prep for a collaboration. #yarn #wool
