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.
Gleba, Textile Production in pre-Roman Italy (2008) gives fiber preparation (including shearing) for wool and linen 9 pages, spinning gets 22 and weaving 30.

That's not to bash on those books; they're good books. But you've got limited evidence and limited pages and something has to always lose out and in it often seems to be pre-spinning preparation work.

For my own part, I am endlessly frustrated by the lack of rigorous, scholarly time-labor studies of the complete chain from wool to fabric with authentic period tools. Such data would be supremely valuable, but I've never seen a really complete look published.
