A little mohair and wool head through the picker and into the carder in this episode. Plus a quick glimpse of some recently dyed in the wool fiber and a finished Lulu Slipover in handspun yarn. We end it all with a little liberal soapbox and some handspinning.

The last of the Shetland wool for the spin to knit along is on the carder. So much dyed wool. I hope you enjoy this as color after color comes off the carder. Get ready to spin!

This episode takes you through some of the steps for spinning and dyeing yarn to knit a sweater. We start with some wool spinning at the spinning wheel. Then talk about prepping the finished yarn for dyeing and dye up a couple skeins. And finally we end with some swatching for the sweater. With a little Shetland sheep visit thrown in for fun.
