Woollen Mill Carstairs: The Washing

Today we visited Carstairs Custom Wollen Mill in Carstairs Alberta, just near Olds. What fun!


Hers the entrance to the mill when you get your first hit of wolly heat. This trough is where the wool is washed with gentle takes moving it along through the 140f water. 




A conveyor belt brings the wool to a pair of rollers the expell the water back into the tanks for reuse. 




The it’s in to the next stage of drying and carding.
