Standing outside feeling through each staple of a beautiful fleece. The sensation in my hands when I touch the fiber \u2013 warm, rich and airy. The smell of the sheep. A few clues to where the sheep has been \u2013 lots of peat in Shetland fleeces and leaves, pines or moss in Swedish fleeces, or a bit of nylon string from fences or silage.<\/p>\n<p>When I sort wool, I try to read the fleece. My mind goes to where the sheep might have been and done. It also goes to how the fleece is different on different parts of the body and how I can prepare and spin these sections differently to make the most out of the versatility of the wool. In some places long and sleek staples that part easily, in some places short, crimpy and fluffy. In yet other places a bit coarser but still promising. I am quite fascinated by the difference between fleeces of the same breed and within one individual.<\/p>\n<p>Every time I sort a fleece I learn something new, about the breed, about how I can try new methods or combinations to make a yarn the way the fiber wants to be handled. I can make more subtle observations each time I stick my hands into a new fleece. At that moment I feel empowered by the wool and all that it gives me.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_589\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-589\" style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"589\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wool-sorting\/shetland-mooskit2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Shetland-Mooskit2.jpg?fit=480%2C640&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"480,640\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 6&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1510135246&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.15&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;32&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.01&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Shetland Mooskit2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Shetland-Mooskit2.jpg?fit=480%2C640&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-589 size-full\" title=\"A crimpy fleece\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Shetland-Mooskit2.jpg?resize=480%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A crimpy fleece\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Shetland-Mooskit2.jpg?w=480&amp;ssl=1 480w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Shetland-Mooskit2.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-589\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A Mooskit Shetland fleece from Jamieson &amp; Smith Shetland woolbrokers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love wool sorting.
