Carding Wool like a Ghost

Preparing wool with wool cards for light, fluffy rolls or rolags to use with the long draw spinning method. Both flat back and curved back cards are demonstrated. This video is a companion video to "Spin like a Ghost" which covers spinning wool rolls on a Great Wheel using the manipulation of the 'half yarn' technique. Sometimes called 'double drafting or English longdraw. I learned this technique from Edna Blackburn at her Farm School located in Ontario Canada long ago. I hope you enjoy this dangerous and delightful technique. I never find it boring and I love the GW dance. -more on my blog (soon) at 'missingspindle.blogspot.com'.
