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.

The result - an Aran / 12ply 2 end #yarn that is a weird light green colour. Not sure how the dark green singles blended that much, but there you go. I'll def be doing more of this - my desire to keep fibre out of landfill is strong 💪

Spinning thick singles as I assume it'll hold the green cut up singles a bit better. It's spinning remarkably well considering its unevenness. But if I can keep the leftover green singles from landfill this might become a regular thing!

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.

And the final product. From a greasy fleece on a sheep's back to this skein of #yarn. A #yarn ready to be transformed into a work of art, a jumper, a hat, a scarf or any other creative endeavour.
No harsh chemicals involved!

Steaming the #yarn is a great opportunity to remove any dodgy bits and general quality control. Plus it's the first glimpse of the final product.

A few more steps to go.. Spinning the #yarn singles. It's spinning beautifully. This will be a 3-end DK/8ply yarn, non-superwash woollen-spun. All natural!

After spending a few days drying outside under a warm Australian sun it's ready to pick for a second time.

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.
