[QUOTE="delilah, post: 6597485, member: 76758"] That is one mean 'n' moody photo in The Ark :D From the coalface: Lustre wools, yes they tend to react more like slippery silky hair and the batts created from these fibres are more delicate and spin up with a heavier drape to the finished product than the more woolly fleeces. So far I have processed BFL and Wensleydale in this category and not had much of a problem with it falling through the grid. However with lambs wool.... I have some of that from this years clip to try. I will be covering the grid table with a finer mesh but as my floor is lino I can still reclaim and examine what falls through that might still be useful fibre. The thing you have to consider also is what your end use is. I have yet to discover how short a fibre will work on my electric carder and for spinning you will need a certain length of fibre in order to draft it. I hope to make some pieces of soft felt out of ours. We will let you know if that is successful or not ! [/QUOTE]
