that festival sounds fun! to clarify, i don't want to buy a drum carder, i want to send my chien wool to someone who does have one! and can spin it for me.
i bought a spinning wheel at a yardsale the christmas before last, and my sammy died 2 days later. so i took it as a sign. it's super sentimental for me. there's a spinning supplier in solvang, ca that is great, and i bought carders from them. i have made 3 balls of yarn so far, of course it is uneven, but i am proud to have done it! it's pretty slow going but i enjoy it. some places are weirded out by dog fiber and i've read (i have nothing to compare it with) it is harder to spin than wool because it is more slippery, not, well, wooly.
any WAHM spinners who can help? ideas?
