Progress on my first fleece processing. Fiber is coopworth cross โ€œHobieโ€ from @fossilfibers.bsky.social. Iโ€™m hoping to finish processing in the next week or so! Loving the little nests more than rolags. ๐Ÿงถ #handspinning #fiberprep

All the spindles, and even though Iโ€™m newer to spinning, I can feel my brain wanting to impulse buy raw wool to learn to process myself. And more fiber to spin. All the things.
