I've seen many different ways of hand carding, most of the people say it takes a lot of work and muscle. But when production carding, there are tricks so it takes very little muscle and is easy on the arms to card for an hour or four at a time. These days I find drum carding harder on my arms and back than hand carding.

I had saved some less than awsome wool with the plan to take it the local mill for corespun yarn, but things changed, so I'm wondering what to do with these fibres that are too week to home process. I could wash them and maybe teas them with willow switches to fluff them up, then put them in rugs? It's an idea I'm toying with.
