Sample #6 Fiber: Wool Weight of Skein: 60 grams |
Appl: #1600203 |
||
Spinning Equipment Used:
Double Drive Flyer Wheel, Ratio 4:1| |
|||
Preparation for Spinning: Washed in
very hot water with Ivory liquid. Dried in a sunny window on towels. The
fleece was woolcombed thus removing all the unsuitable shorter fibers and producing a
roving for worsted spinning. Reason for Choice of this Sample: The long strong fibers of the dual fleece showed the characteristics necessary for a heavy worsted. The fleece was very clean and I was charmed by the brown hairs. |
|||
This fiber and sample 5 fiber are from the same fleece. This sample was prepared first with wool combs. The loose, short fiber caught in the wool combs was then carded into rolags for sample 5. |
