Adding recycled Sari Silk to wool happens at the carding machine. I love the pips of color and texture it adds to the wool.
How much wool can you fit in an Expedition? More than 180 pounds! Did a local wool pick up yesterday-future roving and yarn 🤎
Mike found this gem on the east coast, sitting in someone’s barn. It’s a Davis & Furber wool picker. It has been part of the mill from the beginning. The picker separates and opens up the wool locks, preparing it for the carding machine.
Processed a Tunis fleece from our flock this week. I enjoy working with Tunis wool, it always cards up nicely 🧡
I love processing Romney Wool ☑️
Making wool roving
Carding some of our BFL Tunis X wool with some added Sari today. One of my favorite crosses from our farm.

FYI-we have no employees at Mitten State Sheep & Wool…but between the two of us, Mike does tend to get the really dirty jobs. 🤷🏼♀️
