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.

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.
