So on Sunday I proceeded to the next step in making the hood. This involved taking the now dry dark wool and making it spin-able. most of my projects in recent times have been done with viking combs to get the best of the wool and leave behind the inferior wool. Because of the limited amount of wool available, I elected to go back to standard combs. This would not create as nice of a yarn, but it allowed me to keep more of the roving. This will be the main activity of making the hood until most of the roving has been processed. The yarn will be stored on spools till a better estimation can be made of the amount. I hope to be able to ply the yarn into 2 ply for strength and uniformity, but that will depend on how much is produced.
