I have started to make samples for a spinning/knitting project. The fleece is from my wether Cookie, a silver grey Romney/CotswoldXShetland. He produces this beautiful 8" long medium wool, and the project is a V-neck cardigan with lots of cables. So I would like to spin a 2ply worsted yarn for a size 5mm knitting needles. I combed some of his wool with my two-pitch Viking combs and some I flick carded. I preferred the flick carded preparation and spun some of it with and without dressing oil. Well, both of them are hairier than I would like. The yarn is pretty with a 15 degree angle on the balanced plied yarn, and pleasantly squishable, but it has these wool tips poking out. Is there something I can do to make it less hairy or is it something to do with the nature of my wool?
Suggestions will be much appreciated,
