James uses our wool carder for the very first time.




James White (2nd yr Extended Diploma) wants to knitt with very thick yarn and having found that most commercial 'thick yarns' arn't actually that thick he has decided to card his own sheeps wool and make his own yarn to then knitt with.
This was an experiment for all involve but with a little help from youtube, james was carding in no time. Watch this space for the knitted results...
