Скачать или смотреть Briggs & Little yarn: Part 1 - Washing the raw wool

We purchase 90% of our wool from the Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers (CCWG) in Carleton Place, Ontario. The other 10% is locally sourced from small farms in our area and surrounding provinces.
The first step to making wool yarn is to unleash the 1000 lb bale of wool fleeces and then feed it to the hopper! After being fed into the hopper, the raw wool is washed twice and then rinsed before going to the dryer. We do not use harsh chemicals to wash any of our wool, only a mild detergent that you could use in your household. Due to this, you may see tidbits of chaff in our finished products. It's ok though because most of these little pieces will fall out during the knitting/crocheting/weaving process. :)
