In this episode I share how I prep my wool top for a new hand spinning project on my e-spinner. I also share the knitting progress on my Calliope sweater as well as thoughts and yarns for my next potential knit, the Pressed Flowers Vest.

There are plenty of videos from inside the wool mill also including washing fine wools, picking wool and carding wool.
