Shearing to Carding and ready for handspinning. Processing wool from the beginning.

All about hand spinning yarn, knitting, owning a wool mill, farm life and everything in between.

This episode is Shetland on Shetland. I take from shearing to skirting fleeces to scouring the wool, handpicking the wool and finally carding. This was the first time in many years that we have let our Shetlands grow a full year of wool so it was fun to take you all on the processing journey with me.

Mission at Ewethful: 
My mission at Ewethful Fiber Mill is to fill making hands with small batch American grown yarns and fibers. I strive to produce lightly processed products that maintain their character, have low environmental impact and tell the stories of the animals and shepherds from whence they came.
