Have they seen Abby Franquemount&#39;s Soinning Part One on YouTube? She starts by showing how one hand holds the bit of fluff and the other simply twirls it and pulls...all of a sudden &nbsp;drafting and spinning. I have seen how random bits of sheep fleece end up hanging from bushes and the wire used to keep the sheep from roaming.
