    It's almost funny to think that at the time of 2020's TdF I didn't even know spinning as a hobby existed. Love the little guest appearances of the cats though 😹

    Is washing your fleece in warm water enough to set the twist? I was taught many many years ago to put a pot on the stove to just below a simmer and let wool sit in that.

      Simmering is good for scouring wool, but not necessary for setting the twist. I’ve seen some spinners spritz their yarn to dampen it to set twist. Some will hit it with a blast of steam. I choose warm water to help with a gentle cleaning, plus it’s easier on my hands than cool or cold water😸 I think it’s the damp not temp that relaxes the fibers - in cases where the singles have rested on bobbins for awhile, it reenergizes them.
      Now simmering might also be suggested if you are wanting to full, or slightly felt your yarn. A tiny bit of agitation OR just plunge the hot yarn into a cold bath. I usually full my yarn a bit with a bit of agitation in the warm water post-spin wash. Some yarns benefit from the process. It’s especially interesting to look into when and when not to fill a yarn for weaving❣️
