Combed fiber

This was a shetland/columbia cross fiber that was combed, then dyed in an earlier post.

While spinning, found that it had slightly felted during the dye process, so it needed combing again, and wanted to show how it looks now.


Very soft again, it will be much easier to spin. Will post a picture of the finished yarn, and also replaced the dark photo with an outdoor one, the color shows up much better in the sunlight on the snow than in the house on a dark evening.
