six Shetland fleeces as seen from the underside and exterior of the coat! I got these at cost from one of the farmers last week when I helped out with shearing. I am so excited to work with this beautiful wool. coat types are variable but generally fine, woolly, longer staple with not a whole ton of hair in the fleece. for the non sheep reader- Shetland are famous for coming in a bazillion different natural colors and patterns. I am going to try to match these up to their traditional Norn language names for wool colors :-)

Carding the moorit shetland because I need scrap wool to stuff some dog and cat toys. So all the waste is going into these toys.
I am of course using the No Fleece Left Behind method, so its nice and fast and very effective.
1. Chunk of washed fleece
2. pick out a few locks at a time. I find its easiest to look for the tips (which are typically lighter due to sun bleaching. In this case the tips are blonde). Pinch the tips and pull them out.
3. Align a few locks, orienting everything the same way. Add 2 twists and hold it at the twist.
4. Use a hand card (or other similar tool) and drag it over the tines, rotating the locks each pass. Open it up fully and remove all vm by combing it over the tines. Once one side is open, switch to the other side (the butt end of the locks rather than the tip)
5. Check it and make sure it is free of vm and looks fully opened.
6. Add to pile of carded fleece.
7. Use a thin tool (in my case a 2mm crochet hook) to remove the matt of waste wool. This can be reprocessed to remove the vm from it and get more wool. In my case I did not want to do that because--
8. Im using it to fill this chew toy for my sister's puppy. The toy is mostly handspun undyed wool and partly millspun flax twine. Should be a good puppy chew toy ? Apparently he loves the ones I made last year for new years.
