Fluffy rides again.

Well it's taken me a while to get over the jet lag from Australia, and poor old fluff is sat waiting patiently. For those of you not in the know, Fluffy is a local sheep whose coat is sitting in my spinning room, waiting to be carded and spun and returned back to its owner.  (See previous blog posts).

As you can see, there's a lot of Fluffy still sitting waiting to be spun up! The good news though now is that at least it's washed and dried. Previously I tried hand carding but this is such a slow process, that I've enlisted the help of my drum carder which not only has sped up the process, but has produced fibre that looks more like tops. The staple length of this fibre is sooooo long, it's amazing!
