Hi everyone
I just joined In the Spin and am a spinner of some 6 months- yep, very new I know.
I have come to the conclusion that I just love spinning raw, unwashed wool. The less work I do on prep the better. I just want to spin. I wash the yarn after it is spun and dye it straight after, while it is still wet. All in one process. I have been fortunate enough to buy some beautiful merino-x fleeces and had a red and a black alpaca fleeces given to me.
I also love art yarn, but I can find absolutely nothing in the internet about spinning art yarn from raw unwashed fleece. Why is that? Does nobody do this at all? Has anyone in this group done this? I would love to hear from you how you did it and what you did. TIA. Have a happy New Year.
