Preparing wool for spinning without equipment

I've been researching commercial spinning, and when they prepare roving for a ring spinning frame, they do the same thing- drafting out the sliver, combining it, re-drafting it, combining it...

That's brilliant! Very nice!

I want to try to do this with the hair I collect from my Maine Coon cat.

Hi, thankyou so much for showing how to Drop Spindles from locks that are prepared by hand without any tools.

Take care and stay safe. Xx

Got my last three Jacob fleece for free. Other wise they would have been tossed. Small fleece but still good quality. A lot of VM but I work my fiber enough to knock nearly every bit out. Nice technique.

Thanks for that wonderful tutorial. I am preparing an alpaca fleece for spinning but don't have combs to create a roving so this will suit me down to the ground. Sooooo happy I found you on Yu tube.

Very interesting channel. Looking forward to learning from you. I’m getting ready to buy a homestead and plan to grow as much of my food as I can, but also want to finally start using my spinning wheel and making my clothes too. I’m not much of a knitter, although I haven’t really worked at it to get good, but I’ve got the knack for crochet so I know I’ll be able to use my yarn. I think I want to build a loom to try some basic weaving too. One day.

Your video is really useful and also encouraging, it’s so easy to be put off when you don’t have equipment, I only have a homemade drop spindle and you are so informative and helpful thanks

Will definitely try this out.

When I started spinning 18 years ago, I didn't have equipment either and got a fleece. I got a dog comb from a dollar store and cannibalized a leather mini skirt from a second hand store to make a lap cloth and flicked and combed the whole fleece to spin and this became my first shawl. I teach spinning classes at my local yarn store and still keep several dog combs, leather lap clothes, and home made spindles(dowels and drawer pulls) to show students that you can efficiently process larger amounts of fleece without spending a lot of money.
