Little video of processing the Swedish Helsinge lamb fleece. Helsinge is a heritage breed known for it’s double coat - the inner coat (thel) is super soft and warm, whilst the outer coat (tog) is coarser and shiny. The different properties of the tog & thel make each more suited for certain applications (ie use thel for something warm and toasty for next to skin, & use tog for outwear that needs to endure weather or abraison). To separate the coats you use double tine combs and comb away until all the strong fibers are aligned so the tog can be dized out leaving the thel caught between the tines.

English Leicester fleece prepping has begun!

I washed some handfuls earlier in the week. (Cold water and scour and detergent! No heat needed!!)

Homemade temp comb, the table set up doesn't work amazing. So handholding the small piece and combing each end.

I enjoy these little bundles :)

First samples spun and plied. 2 and 3 plys and one off the drop spindle. Still want it thinner though

Bonus photo of the drop sheet collection of crap:
