Clean machines = beautiful yarn! ✨
We're meticulous about every step of our yarn-making process, and that includes cleaning!
Especially when we're changing colours – like going from white to black – our Fibre Opener gets a deep clean at the moment.

It’s been really hot and dry in recent days.. so we need to add a bit of moisture when processing fibre- because static is a nightmare 🤪

Yesterday I had the opportunity to go to a #yarnmaking workshop at @schielemuseum! We made our own drop spindles and got to work with some lovely Merino wool. I learned a new skill, although it needs to be honed quite a bit still. #schielemuseum #merinowool #wool #yarn #nc #gogaston
