Just look at these delicious whipped up light woolly confections! I am learning that big fat rolags off of the drum carder or blending board spin so much better and smoother when I do this pre-drafting technique, basically stretching the rolag (in little jerking motions) out into a longer, much more airy variation that has released the bound up energy so fibers can slip through so much better, not having to tug at the rolag.

From this rolag, firmly pulled-off-the-carding-drum, a woolly larvae of sorts . . .

Metamorphosized into this long limp airy creature . . .

And finally into this lightly wrapped beautiful whipped confection ready for woollen spinning.
