Wool hand processing
This description is based on the assumption that wool is the fibre being used. For hand-spinning most of the fibre spun is wool, or a blend containing wool. Most animal hair fibre is handled with only a few modifications to the below description. Plant fibres are prepared for spinning very differently. Sheep Shearing The first step in processing the wool is to collect it. Shearing can be done with use of hand-shears (tools that look like big scissors) or powered shears. Professional sheep shearers can shear a sheep in under a minute, without nicking the sheep once. At many state fairs there are sheep shearing contests, to see who can shear a sheep the fastest. These contests mainly include older men...
Flax hand processing
Flax The preparations for spinning is similar across most plant fibres, including Flax and Hemp. Cotton is handled differently, as with cotton it is not the stalk of the plant that is used. Flax is the fibre used to create linen. Harvesting The first step in preparing flax to be spun is harvesting it. Flax is not cut, but instead it is pulled out of the ground about a month after the initial blooming. It should be pulled when the lower part of the plant begins to turn yellow, and when, on opening the pods, the most forward of the seeds are found in a soft state, and the middle of the seeds is green. It should be pulled in handfuls, straight up. Next, one should join several handfuls together and tie...
The machines used for different fibres vary slightly in the initial steps, but once the fibre is in a rolag (ready to spin) the process and machinery is pretty much universal. Slight changes are made depending on the coarseness of the fibre or yarn desired. Cotton Cotton Gin The cotton boll is white, roughly spherical and fluffy. After being harvested, the cotton is sent through a cotton gin because the seeds have to be removed before carding. A modern day cotton gin looks similar to a carding machine, in that the fibre goes through many different rollers. The teeth on the gin are different from those on a carding machine. The ginning process removes the seeds from the cotton fibre. The first cotton...
Fabric Formation
Once the fiber has been turned into yarn the process of making cloth is much the same for any type of fibre, be it animal or plant. Knitting Knitting by hand is a trend that is slowly growing throughout the United States. Commonly knitted goods are scarfs (both decorative and functional), sweaters, socks and shawls. Hand knitting can either be done "flat" or "in the round". Flat knitting is done on a set of single point knitting needles, and the knitter goes back and forth, adding rows. In Circular knitting, or "knitting in the round", the knitter knits around a circle, creating a tube. This can be done with either double pointed needles or a circular needle. Since knitting in essence is pulling...

Fiber: Soluble and Insoluble (You Need Both)
Fiber is the structural material of plants and is found in all fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts and other seeds. It is a type of carbohydrate that your body cannot break down, so you can't absorb it. There are two types: soluble and insoluble. Insoluble fiber adds bulk to your stool and helps to prevent constipation. Soluble fiber binds to fat in the intestines and keeps some fat from being absorbed.Insoluble fiber may help to prevent colon cancer by speeding cancer-causing agents through the digestive system. It helps with weight control because it binds to water, creating bulk that makes you feel full. It can help control diabetes because it slows the rate at which your body absorbs...
