Thank you so much for your detailed comment. Unfortunately, I was confined to bed with fever for three days, so I couldn't take care of Steemit at all. And you know what? This is also very good for a change... ;-)

Yes, wool processing is very laborious. It's very, very satisfying work: you really learn to value textiles more. The "cheap" T-shirts just don't grow on the shelves....

Hihi, that's right, the Cologne folklore dancers remind me a bit of the show spinners. This is mainly due to the headgear and apron. I now know why the ladies wear aprons: when you wash, you already sort out a lot of dirt, and when you comb, a whole lot more dirt falls out of the wool. So it's unbelievable that when you're spinning, you also get a lot of dirt crumbling onto your lap!
