Wool Spinning

Wool spinning is the process of transforming raw wool fibers into yarn. It begins with cleaning the wool, removing dirt and oils, then carding, which aligns the fibers into a fluffy batt. The fibers are then drafted, or pulled out, to control thickness, and twisted together to create a continuous strand called yarn. This yarn can be used for knitting, weaving, or other textile crafts. Spinning can be done by hand or with a machine, and the type of twist and thickness influences the yarn’s strength and texture. Overall, wool spinning turns loose fibers into a durable, workable thread for making textiles.
