Handspun A Podcast about Handspinning, Knitting, and Yarn
All about hand spinning yarn, knitting, owning a wool mill, farm life and everything in between.
In this episode we talk about processing the wool for fiber club including videos of skirting wool, picking and carding. I also share a video as I finish up handspinning woolen style a cotton/wool blend roving giving tips on spinning cotton along the way. There is also knitting talk as my Calliope moves along and a quick look at different sheep breed wools.
