In this video I show you how I process a raw Shetland fleece. I walk you through the entire process, from fleece to yarn. I did my best to keep everything as short and as informative as possible.
If you're brand new to wool processing I think this video should provide everything you need!
Check out the awesome sources I found and thank you SO MUCH for watching 💖
