This is the fleece after washing and sorting, ready to be carded.

I usually spin way too thin and I wanted to try to produce a thick and textured yarn. So I fitted the jumbo flyer to the Kromski traveller and had a go with the batt I made with the not-so-good fleece from Panda one of our Shetland Sheep. I found it hard to spin thick, but I'm pleased with the result so will try some more. #woolSpinning #ShetlandSheep

OK I'm going to try posting a photo here again and hope that it works this time! A photo of one of our Shetland Sheep before shearing. #wool #woolspinning #Llandeilo #ShetlandSheep #smallholding

Shwmae Romi, I'm new today too! I have been knitting since I was a child - mainly handknitting. I also do machine knitting. We started keeping Shetland Sheep this year so I am also learning to spin. I look forward to reading your posts. #WoolSpinning #ShetlandSheep #knitting #wool #yarn. We have a holiday let on the smallholding and love welcoming people to this beautiful part of Wales.
