All the wool is a vlog all about handspinning yarn, processing wool, knitting, owning a wool mill, farm life and everything in between.
This episode starts at the wool mill as I blend up Romney wool, alpaca and silk. There is also washing wool and carding up the Romney blend wool. Back on the farm I walk through tips for prepping hard to handspin fibers and we do an unboxing of a fleece I received in the mail.

Mission at Ewethful:
My mission at Ewethful Fiber Mill is to fill making hands with small batch American grown yarns and fibers. I strive to produce lightly processed products that maintain their character, have low environmental impact and tell the stories of the animals and shepherds from whence they came.
