A basket full of wool can feel like an endless supply of woolly goodness. After having prepared what may seem like three bags full of wool the content still looks untouched. But the supply is not endless. Sooner or later you will get to the bottom of the basket. I did this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By spending time with the wool my hands learn how the wool behaves and how it wants to be spun.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I love digging my hands in a new spinning project. Fiber by fiber I get to know the fleece \u2013 fiber length, elasticity, crimp, colour, shine, fiber type, staple type. These characteristics are there for me to discover. If I only invest my time and focus in the fleece they will present themselves to me. My hands will investigate and learn how the fibers behave on their way from staples to yarn:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
