i carded waste wool and spun it.
closest to the whorl was already there. then there’s fairly nice soft waste from combs (second pic). then commercial merino top scraps (not pictured). and finally some of the worst waste from the combs (last 2 pics), full of kemp and matted bits.

so much kemp in that last sample. it doesn’t always twist lock, so it definitely should be plied, maybe with better yarn. all the comb waste is also short fibers. i wouldn’t use any of it in knitting, just as weft for low-wear items (curtains, placemats, etc).
