MV Fiber Farm on Spinning Wool into Yarn

I may know a good deal about yarn, but I don’t know much about how yarn is made other than sheep –> spindle –> skein –> shop.

This fantastic set of photos from Martha’s Vineyard Fiber Farm shows exactly what happens to a fleece when it goes to the mill. And what a lovely old mill it is, too, with lots of antique equipment and not even a digital scale in sight.
