Chapter 485
Use a small toothed comb to comb the scattered wool into clumps, gently twist them into thin threads with your fingers, then gather two or three strands of yarn together side by side, and use the power of the spinning spindle to twist them into a wool rope.
This is the whole process of hand-twisting wool yarn.
Although it is very simple, this process still requires sufficient patience and a high level of proficiency in the technique.
"Watch me do it first, and then follow me." Xia Tian demonstrated the whole process independently, and a spiral of wool was spun out.
She picked up the yarn and showed it to Si Ye. "This is the final product. Look, it's made from the fur of the Meow Meow Beast. Once all the fur is processed into yarn, we can use it to weave. Yarn has many uses. Small yarns can be used to knit socks, while larger yarns can be made into blankets or clothes. It's very convenient."
The yarn itself is a tangled mess, the result of soaking and washing.
"This is a comb for combing hair. I made it myself some time ago. I will start twisting the thread after all the hair is combed neatly." Xia Tian handed over the comb in her hand.
Si Ye took a look at the strangely shaped object in his hand, pondered for a moment, and said nothing. He picked up the comb and a ball of wool at hand, and combed it bit by bit with the comb until it was finally combed into a smooth strand of wool.
Then, he imitated Xia Tian, picked out about three thin threads, rubbed them together little by little with his fingers, and finally used the spindle to perfectly spin out a complete piece of wool.
"As expected of you..." Xia Tian was already feeling annoyed by Si Ye's exceptional learning ability. "You're the first person I've ever seen who can learn something just by looking at it once and do it so well... You're truly amazing."
"It's nothing. Just be careful enough." Si Ye was still very humble. He lowered his head and worked silently without saying anything else.
[Hahaha, it seems like nothing can stump Lao Si, right? He can actually master this weird stuff in no time!]
[I didn't expect this skill to be so effective. As expected of my male protagonist, he's supposed to be this cool!]
[But I still hope my brother can say a few more words. After all, who doesn’t like to hear nice words? ]
Xia Tian was working on her tasks while listening to the discussions in the livestream room. Suddenly, she thought of something and looked up to ask Si Ye, "By the way, the mountains have been closed off due to heavy snow these past few days. How are the other people living there doing?"
"They're doing fine." Si Ye tilted his head slightly. "They're very experienced in surviving the cold season. When there weren't proper caves like this, they managed to survive even those drafty stone houses. Not to mention now they have the earthen kang you built. Don't worry, we're all very united. We'll work together to overcome any difficulties. Nothing will happen."
"Hmm..." Xia Tian wanted to say something when she saw Xiaoxue jumping up from the side at some point, raising one paw, wanting to touch the ball of yarn but not daring to, so she lay beside it.
"Haha, Xiaoxue is afraid of the cold too, right?" Xia Tian smiled and rubbed its little head, pushing it back. "Don't move, these wool yarns were sorted out with great effort. It will be troublesome if you mess them up..."
