More Shetland! Some beautiful moorit going through the picker and carder. Plus I share some fresh raw wool fleeces that are getting added to the wool mill stash. And of course a bit of handspinning on an e-spinner at the end.

I hope you like Shetland wool because that is our wool for the week. We start outside as I pull some wool that has been cold soaking overnight. Then off to the mill to wash wool, pick it and then we head to the carder with some natural white Shetland wool. The spin-to-knit along is coming up quick and these kits are going to be lovely!!!

The Ewethful community is a strong, inclusive and inspiring group of maker's. I decided to start this Community Makers series as a way to share the stories and spaces of different creators in this community. My goal here is to showcase the people and their spaces, big and small, that we find both comfortable and inspiring.  

This is Part 2 with Amy where she and I sit down to knit and chat about the joys of being creative.

Finally I get some wool skirting in! We start with a Romney x East Friesian cross fleece before heading to the mill for some wool work. We end up back at the skirting table with some stunning moorit Shetland wool. There is also washing wool, picking wool, and carding at the end. And of course a smidge of handspinning yarn and a maker's soapbox.

A whole lotta wool talk! We start at the wool mill at the picker blending up fibers. Then its time to wash some Romeldale wool, visit the sheep and card wool. Finally the episode ends with some handspinning and a maker's soapbox about what we can control, how we spend our money.

A whole lot of Shetland wool processing in this video as I prep fiber for the upcoming handspin to knit along. From washing wool, to picking wool, to carding the wool up there is plenty to see and learn about wool. This episode ends with a little plying as I finish up spinning a big project.

This episode takes you through some of the steps for spinning and dyeing yarn to knit a sweater. We start with some wool spinning at the spinning wheel. Then talk about prepping the finished yarn for dyeing and dye up a couple skeins. And finally we end with some swatching for the sweater. With a little Shetland sheep visit thrown in for fun.
