    It will take tons more time to prepare the fiber than anything. If you need wool combs to prep the fleece for a worsted draw, let me know. I may have a set for sale.

    I find I like the Viking mini combs better than my full sized English combs.

    Thank you! We have a few sets, though, as we teach spinning classes at our shop. Better than that even, Ginger, my partner, has a small fiber processing plant set up in her garage. She has a picking machine and an electric carder that turns out both batts and rovings. That should make shorter work of the task. She plans to sell custom blends of fiber come her retirement.

    Yay! More fiber workers. My side of the fiber addiction is the dirty side.

    I shear:


    This is a suri alpaca. I also do llamas.

    and I clean and card to make roving and batts for those who work on the on the clean side:


    This is roving I made from Tunis (a rare breed sheep). That's also my spinning of the Tunis though I don't really do much of that (because my side of the fiber addiction really is the dirty side).
