Fleece to Sweater Segment 2: Wool Picking, Carding and Spinning

The next steps, after washing and drying, in the process of turning raw fleece into a sweater are picking, carding, and spinning. In the first video of the Fleece to Sweater series, I washed the fleece using a detergent for one batch and plain water for washing another. In this second video, I am carding wool by hand to produce rolags that can be used in fiber crafts such as felting or can be spun to make yarn. Next, I use a drop spindle to spin the rolags into yarn.
