Wool Processing

[rightchoiceshearing]

I did misspeak. It’s a drum carder, there is also a hand carder which looks much more difficult. 😂

"From baa to beanie" adorable 😍 💕

Seeing these "behind the sheeps" vids makes me feels like I'm watching the prequel.

One of my ancestors who came to America in the 1600s was the very first weaver in East Hampton. Part of East Hampton park was his land. He made and dyed fabrics. I can imagine them doing this.

I just watched a commercial wool processing video and it made me cry. The way they treated the animals was horrible. Thank you for the care you put in to taking care of these animals. 💕

SO SO HAPPY to finally see this part of the process!! I hope you continue to share more about sheep and wool that are affected by your shearing!

We still have my great grandma's, she passed about two years ago, Spinning Wheel and other knitting/threading set that she use to use when she use to make bridal gowns during her time. I love watching how people make such raw material into something we use.

Yay! Thank you so much for this! I've been wondering how it goes from sheep to yarn. Now I know, though I'm ready for even more details.

My kids and I took a wool spinning class when they were young. It was really cool, they carded the wool, spun the yarn, dyed it with various techniques and then knitted or wove it into something simple

This is great! I've been wondering for a long time what happens after you finish. Thanks for shearing--er, sharing!

[veevee]

Thank you for making this! I’ve been curious. Would be really interesting to see the detailed processes after shearing (although I understand you are a shearer!), thank you so much 😊

I know this as a knitter, weaver, and yarn store owner. But 99% of people don’t have a clue. So I am always so happy when you teach the viewers about skirting, and carding, and roving, and spinning, etc. it creates so much respect for the craftsmanship of others as well as respect for the sheep and llamas and alpacas, etc. Thank you for your wonderful work and equally wonderful commentaries.

I am one of those that is blessed by the arts and crafts, I use wool for needle felting. I buy it carded wool. I also buy felt and curly wool. The joy it brings me I'd just like to say thank you to all involved in providing me with the fantastic fiber. I love watching what you post which also helps with the chronic pain syndrome. So therapeutic watching the shearing. I am telling you this just so you know all your filming and editing is very much appreciated. The best ones are the ones that look like they been through a mangle and then you shear them and they look like utter class as they trot off. Thanks once again for the great content and best wishes from the UK.

What I love MOST about this is the care factor treatment to the sheep, showing that the rough handling and numbers of nicks and cuts should NOT happen, thank you 😊

If you're interested in this process check out the book "Vanishing Fleece" by Clara Parkes. The audiobook is excellent.

It's non-fiction but the author has a real flair for narrative that makes it a really enjoyable read.

So very happy to see the HOW part of what you do. Thank you so much 💓

[elainemacdonald]

This was excellent, so much information packed into exactly one minute. I'm not quite sure how I discovered you - the mysteries of the algorithms, but I've been following you for several months now and enjoy everything you upload. Who knew that shearing was so fascinating!

[Ann_Wall-Chiasson]

As someone who crochets, I found it quite satisfying to see the process of making the material I use for my projects.

[herroyalawkwardness]

I've never appreciated my wool yarns more. Thanks for giving insight!

[ramblingrose]

The yarn looks beautiful and thank you for showing us the process after the shearing . It is wonderful to see how much you appreciate the animals you are shearing .
