General thoughts: combing is a satisfying process, if a bit slow, especially compared to an electric drum carder! Probably on par with hand carding the same amount.
This fur seems much looser than the roving and top I've seen people produce in videos online. The word "diaphanous" comes to mind with some of the finer bits of sliber I pulled off, as seen in the second photo.
I guess I need to get my hands on some real wool roving/top for comparison!
I'm looking forward to running some spinning tests with this fur, both woolen and worsted style, to see how it responds. And then compare combing the washed fur mat with loose, but unwashed, stuff that remains. I suspect that the unwashed fur will be less matted, and thus quicker to run through the process. And not notably dirtier.
Side note: the color and texture of this combed top is a LOT like my own long hair, and that of my mother, from whom I got most of my genes. It's kind of disconcerting!
