I spun my first hank of Tartan's wool. He's my Jacob wether (wooly beast on the left)

Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full

After shearing. I sheared him myself with hand shears so it's a little messy but the wool's staple length was still impressive.
This was his first shearing (1 yr old)

It's the dark one one top. I spun it directly from the teased locks, sun-kissed tips, long staple length, very soft!
The other two are alpaca and angora for color comparison.
