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.

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!

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.

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.

The penultimate step.. Plying three ends together for a beautiful DK #yarn. The final step of steaming and skeining up next.

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!
