Hmm. I was hoping to get retting, drying, breaking, scutching hackling (flax), sorting, scouring, carding and combing (wool) AND spinning in this week's blog post, but I think I am going to leave spinning for next week and pair it with weaving.

...for the workers and processes *before* spinning and weaving is really quite thin. The focus instead tends to be on spinning and weaving - both in the primary source material and in the subsequent scholarship. So that leaves the post-sheep/plant, pre-spinning part a bit thin.

Fiber prep in a lot of ways is spinning even more so than the actual putting twist in part. I agree that if you don’t have actual spinners doing site analysis, getting prep evidence can be difficult even in historical era sites.

So, the tricky bit is that ancient artwork prefers to show spinning rather than carding, combing, etc AND most of the preparation work involves tools which don't survive archaeologically.
