I nicknamed this fleece "The Beast" because I washed several small batches in the hottest tap water I could get. Normally too hot to leave your hand in comfortably. That did not work, so in this video you will see the simple solution to a fine fleece like this one! Enjoy and leave a LIKE and Subscribe for more! Thank you all so much for the continued support and for watching!

This year I have been processing raw fleeces. My guild had a pair of British Viking Combs. They have 4 rows and are massive, but do a wonderful job. Thanks for sharing your process.

You are very welcome thank you for commenting and glad you enjoyed!

Thank you for sharing lve learnt so much, very informative. I'm gonna try this out for the first time on my own sheepskin Romney and drop spindle spin. The aim is to knit a hap from our own fleece. Kindest regards from N. Ireland

Wow! What a process! Respect to you! Those combs look deadly!

@RayneFiberArts 2 года назад

LOL. Thank you so much for your comment! Oh yes, they hurt but they work amazingly!

@SoulfulSpinning 2 года назад

Great tips Rayne. Using boiling water and covering the fleece really works for greasy fine fleece. I use a big pasta pot with a lid for smaller quantities. Your other tip about separating the locks before scouring is important as well. I have a fine Bond fleece that had old dried lanolin from previous insufficient scouring and this technique worked great. I also love your drop spinning video. Excellent content!

Amazing process, really enjoyed watching and now have more understanding of pricing of hand processed fleece!

I love your diz!!! Looks homemade!! Gives me the idea to make some myself! I made my own combs with sculpey. 3 pitch and they work great!

That is amazing! I would love to see them!

@pegz.3959 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for showing us your process. I was told to always use a higher temperature water on each subsequent wash as not doing so can possibly cause felting. This is just a thought as yours didn't felt but as I said, it is just a thought. Thank you again!!!

@catrionahenderson7759 Год назад

So interesting to see you do this. I found it very useful. Cheers!

@roosterhunter6245 Год назад

Your hot water heater has a thermostat on it, you can set it to max which is 150 F if you haven't already.

@sadiesspincraft6319 2 года назад

Yes is what I had to do with my polwarth fleece as it also just didn't want to let go of the lanolin x

Hi, I just watched your video on washing and combing your merino targhee cross. I have pure merino raw fleece. my merino is only a 3" staple. It is so difficult to comb, card, drum card, I am so frustrated. actually carding was the easiest outcome, so I guess I will continue to prep it this way. I don't have velkryi combs, my comb and hackle is homemade by my husband, so it is not fine enough for merino. oh, well. I will continue to card with my carding paddles. Thank you for the video.

@RayneFiberArts 2 месяца назад

I also found 3 inches is a bit short for combing but with enough patience it can work. It is definitely a pain sometimes and carding would be way easier and less frustrating. Definitely prep however you are comfortable, Thank you for your comment and watching :)

Hi Rayne, I hope you're OK. Love watching all your videos, I have learned sooo much from them. I'm getting my own Fleece next year so all your information is invaluable and very, very much appreciated. Thanks again. Take care and stay safe dear friend. Lots of love Jen xxxx 💖❤♥💕

@RayneFiberArts 2 года назад

Thank you so much! I hope you love your new fleece! I love the raw wools they are so nice and satisfying to turn into something amazing! I am doing OK, hope you are as well! Stay safe, Love to you too -Rayne

@@RayneFiberArts Hi Rayne, thankyou so much for your reply. I'm so glad that you're OK. I'm ok too thanks. Yeah now I've got a wheel I'm looking forward to be getting my own fleece next year. It sounds a long way off but the way this year has flown I know next year will be here before we know it. I've spent thus afternoon binge watching you on the playlist. I could watch your videis everyday and still pick up something new. Thankyou sooo much for everything. Take care and stay safe. Lots of love and big hugs to your 2 little ones. 🤗Jen 💕💖💖

What is the best when storing your washed fiber - make comb top and store until you can spin it or keep it in its unbrushed state until you ready to spin.

@grayautumnday 2 года назад

I’ve tried my Valkyrie superfines and extra fines for prepping a lot of low micron fleeces (mostly cashmere hybrids like pygora) and I’ve found that while the superfines work better with fewer passes, doing the superfine passes take longer than the passes I need with the extra fines… and using the superfines are MUCH harder on my hands, wrists, elbows, and shoulders.

@RayneFiberArts 2 года назад

That is wonderful to know! Thank you so much for your comment!

@denisefontaine-9398 2 года назад

Merci pour votre réponse. J’ai lu que la laine peignée bien que brillante, était moins douce que la laine cardée. Quelle est votre opinion .

@denisefontaine-9398 2 года назад

Je suis Québécoise et j’aimerais acheter des peignes pour la laine. Il y en a avec des clous et d’autres avec des couteaux. Est-ce possible de savoir ce qui serait le mieux. J’ai des brebis Dorset Romanov. Laine douce environ 4 pouces de long et beaucoup de Crimée. Merci beaucoup pour votre réponse.

@lizatraut Год назад

Hi Rayne. Just wondering about dyeing. So from cleaning the raw merino fleece and ready to hand card (the merino is too short for combing) when would you dye the wool? In it's lock state if carding? Or would you make rolangs and then dye them?

Can you post a link to the lowes baskets please? I’m not finding any hydroponic baskets/containers on the lowes website.

@RayneFiberArts 2 года назад

Oh wow. I just looked too and had no luck. I found them by chance in the outdoor part of Lowe's where they keep all the plants and dirt. BUT, I looked around and found some very similar in look and price: www.chewy.com/cobalt-aquatics-square-pond-planter/dp/326263?msclkid=64533202f1f31019f79953275c9cc9c9&Shopping_NC_Fish_S_Fish&Health%20%26%20Wellness-Fish%20Plant%20Care Hope this helps! I quite like these baskets thank you for your comment!

Does the tub HAVE to be covered, when it's sitting for 20 minutes?

@RayneFiberArts Год назад

I would say no but it would help to keep the heat in tremendously.

@awils7762 Год назад

What is the dizz that you are using? I'm new to this so I've never heard of this tool. :)

@RayneFiberArts Год назад

It is just a tool that has certain diameter holes in it to draft the fiber through to help get a more uniform draft off of the combs. I have a few for sale on my Etsy shop with more to come.

@awils7762 Год назад

@@RayneFiberArts Thank you so much for letting me know what it was. :) I'll have to keep researching and learning how to do this. Lol!

@TeamarieDR 2 года назад

Can I use this process with alpaca fleece? Extra fine combs?

@RayneFiberArts 2 года назад

I have some videos on alpaca fleece I recommend checking those out! Alpaca does not contain lanolin and therefore doesn't need scouring hot water just a lot of washes with warm. Here is a link to a video that I think may be a better help for you! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iRr1AMeFmU4.html There are a few other videos on processing alpaca in my how to process fiber playlist on my channel as well if you are interested!

@Wosiewose Год назад

When you emphasized how dangerous those combs are... I started to worry about your bare foot in the frame!

@RayneFiberArts Год назад

I should definitely wear closed toed shoes while using them, but I live dangerously sometimes. 😆 They are very sharp though I hate getting "bit" by them.

Il était à ébullition lorsqu’il était ajouté à la fibre. J’espère que cela m’aidera à utiliser un traducteur d’Internet. Merci d’avoir regardé et de votre commentaire!
