We took our fleeced to Pioneer Fiber Mill in New Smyrna Beach, Florida this year. Steve has been sending updates on the process and I thought people would find it interesting.  Steve is a master craftsman who definitely knows his art.

Next Steps--Light

Cove Field Cate/ChiBaRa Pip

Next Steps--Light

This season, we are having some of our fiber separated into light, lilac, and dark shades for distinct yarn hues. This process involves pulling apart the various shades into two (or more) shades.

Because of the predominance of lighter fibers, when combed and spun, this fiber will homogenize into a light gray/ivory yarn.
