Although I am not known for being colourful personally, I LOVE nerding out on colour! VIsual effects, combinations, tertiary, split complimentary, analagous, tints, tones, historic, and modern. So, this love is being made into local "waste" fibre roving! #localwool #ontariofibreshed #handspinning

Here is the spun result of the wool from Mushies Farm. It was such a nice wool to spin. What would I use it for? When spun, it can be used to weave, crochet, or knit a bag or blanket. Next we'll see how it wet felts.

This is wool from a commercial flock. It's quite dirty but has lots of potential. Let's see how it turns out! #strongwool #ontariowool #allwoolisgoodwool #ontariofibreshed

Pointillism was popularized by painter George Seurat in the late 19th century. His paintings of many tiny coloured dots made the eye create new colours - very similar to a tweed. The final effect is a more lively, interesting image and yarn. #ontariofibreshed #handspinning #allwoolisgoodwool

The PING is what you want to hear. THis wool is strong enough for both mill and home processing. As long as it's not too dirty, short, long, or stained, this wool could do almost anything.

After the first round of picking, the wool is called cloud. The locks of wool have been separated.

When examining raw wool, don't forget to perform the snap test. This gives you an idea if the fleece you are looking at will do what you need it for.

A POP means be careful what you use it for. Wool break limits the end use for a lot of wool. Maybe pellets are the best option for this one.

Mushie's white wool is a fabulous wet felting wool. With average shrinkage rate of 40% when felted and fulled it'll make a good, structural felt for vessels and other works needing strength.. It's hairy, but not excessively. The surface is gently puckered.

Once throught the false twist & another set of rollers, it's roving. It's strong enough to go through a guide & wound into a "bump" or oblong ball of roving. There's still some VM left, but nothing compared to where it began.

The veil goes through the circular diz, compressing it, making a "rope". Next is a set of rollers, flattening the rope. The false twist compresses & "locks" the fibres together.

ONce on the doffer drum, it's taken off with the doffer comb. It looks like it's scraping it, but it is really being combed. The wool likes to stick to itself, creating a cascade of wool fibres.
