... get my drum carder out tomorrow and start carding the Castlemilk Moorit fleece that I'm desperate to get started on?

I think I might have to put it off til tomorrow. Today's been rather busy and we do have a guest with us today.

Never thought of that.

In the end, I didn't even do any today as I have been overdoing things for a few days, so I spent today sleeping. Tomorrow, I will definitely be carding.

Carding underway. There's quite a difference in staple length in various parts of the fleece though, but it's so easy to open the fibres. No combing out needed.
