Thank you for your kind words @Valley Gardener ... yes, spinning is a fascinating and rewarding hobby. The process of producing handspun yarn is fairly long and involved. After removing the undesirable parts of a fleece it is then hand washed. Next it is carded or combed before spinning. Once spun, the yarn needs to be plied then made into a skein ready for dyeing, if needed ... or, of course a spinner could just buy commercially processed fibre - easier, but less rewarding! 😊 Sorry ... I'm not sure you needed to know all that! 🤣 Thanks again.
