Today I went to pick up half of my fleeces from Yolo Wool Mill. They washed, picked and carded my fleeces together.
When I arrived they had both the carder and the yarn machines going. Pretty cool to see! Below is the big, old carder they use.
Here you can see the roving being pulled up by the machine to be spun. It works so fast and produces beautiful results!
Here you can see the wool being spun. They are at the same time pulling wool from already spun spools to create double ply yarn.
Follow the link below to see a quick video watching this machine in action. It’s so fun to be there when the machines are humming along and working with so many different, gorgeous fibers!
