Asking those who have done it before me: how do you usually process Icelandic? I have the idea to make lopi, but am hesitant to use my 108 tpi drumcarder on loan

AN UPDATE: I definitely did it!!! I’ll flick out the tips where there’s still some crusty VM, but more the most part, it was a fairly easy scour!! 😇 #fibreprep #handspinning #localwool

Is it Day 4 of Tourdefleece? I spent most of yesterday combing and blending 200g of Corriedale locks, ready for my next bobbin but today I’m just meh; need a break. So far I’ve spun 400g of singles. #tourdefleece25 #handspun #fibreprep

Sooooo…… We bought a fleece.
~4.4kg, very greasy, a bit dandruffy, a bit poo-ey Zwartbles.
This is our first time processing a fleece, wish us luck!

Learning how to spin woolen tonight 😮💨 I get what the fuss is about, but I am spinning a very fine on accident yarn and while I trust the twist, I reflexively jerk when I let that front hand go. I also learned that I love rolags!

Heavenly soft Corriedale fleece, this is much softer than usual. Batts are mixed with dyed locks of the same fleece. Love tweedy yarn. #handspun #fibreprep

Back to it- here are some examples of yarn I’ve made from my scrappy batts.
Cotton adds tweediness
Locks make slubs/add texture
Yarn ends add texture depending on how carded they are
Silk threads add shine, colour pop and a scribbly effect

I finished the last day of the #TourdeFleeceFemme by using my blending board to prepare fibre for my next spin.
This is the start of a project which since of you will have heard me talk about for probably two years. The tarot cards in fibre.

I have a number of events coming up in the next couple of months where I will either be demonstrating or teaching distaff spinning. I will need plenty of fibre prepped, so I’ve made a start with combing these three fleeces. The white and grey are Romney and the black is Romney x Shetland.

spreading out this raw fleece to skirt it was weird. felt like a dead animal. but the ram was unharmed (except about half a dozen minor nicks) and is somewhere out in the yard eating.

Another less glamorous side of indie dyeing is Fibre Prep, it is tedious and time consuming so I try to do it in batches 😅
Today I listened to a Times Radio interview with Stephen Fry in which he retold a joke: “Musk is not a Nazi, Nazis made really good cars.” 🙃
