Carding All Night Long

It takes quite a lot of time to card an entire fleece. Just sayin'. But isn't it beautiful?


I found it easier to separate out locks and lay them on the carders, so the carding process was almost started before I began. I was frustrated with how dirty the tips still were, but it seems that a lot of the leftover dirt came out during carding. The rest will come out when I wet felt it onto the back of the rug.


 




 
I've already got a small pile of pin-roving going. Just a few (dozen) more hours of carding left.
