This was outdoors during December (note snow piles) during the covid pandemic (note mask and sanitizer) at Lambspun in Fort Collins, where the previous summer I'd gotten advice and bought 3 oz of gray Corriedale lambswool for blending. The owner, Shirley, invited me to come back to borrow her blending board so I could mix the mountain goat fur with the lambswool to make it more spinnable.

This is step 1, after spreading the bought wool on the board -- not very well -- I was terrible at it, and it took a long time even though I wasn't very patient.
