Dear Spinning Circle,

Today. On Wool n’ Spinning Radio. Dionne, Rebecca and Rachel were joined by Melissa Goulet of MellyKnits to discuss the nuances of wool processing and blending. There is an idea out there that if we blend and blend and blend, that fibres will just go together and combine. It’s not widely discussed that some fibres just won’t blend together, no matter what we do with them and no matter how many times we put them through a carder or comb on combs. Often fibres like silk and alpaca blend well with wool of any kind – it’s some of the fibres that are less common that we have trouble with.
