Preparing sheep wool for making yarn
Why are you reporting this puzzle?
Once the clean wool comes back, we can proceed.
First that thing up in the corner is actually a kind of curry comb for cats. It looks very much like the carding paddles used to comb the wool so the fibers are all running in the same direction. To card, we use two paddles, putting the wool between the two and stroking the wool in one direction. After it's carded the spinner can take wisps of wool and twist them together. Then using the spinning wheel on the right, the spinner can keep adding twisted wisps to the previous twisted wisps, keeping a constant tautness to the string, he or she spins the wheel using a foot pedal (well, this one has a foot pedal) to spin the wheel at a constant speed and produce yarn.
