Make Money With WOOL? Experiment Processing Icelandic FLEECE For Profit?

We put Icelandic wool to the test: Can 4.5lbs of fleece earn $10/hr on the homestead? Can hand-spinning Icelandic wool actually make financial sense for a diversified farm, or is it just a romantic hobby? In this video, we go beyond the "Instagram version" of homesteading to look at the real labor, yield, and market math. The Experiment: Processing 4.5 lbs of Morat fleece. Goal: 18 skeins in 36 hours. Target: $10/hour profit. We track every hour—from washing and carding to spinning on both the Ashford traditional wheel and an e-spinner. Watch as we break down the final numbers to see if traditional skills can earn their place in a modern homestead economy.
