Finished my white gansey, which isn't white by H Schinske

Steps from sheep to yarn by news.sonic.net
Every year, my MIL gets rid of 5 sheep worth of wool. What are the steps from sheep to yarn, and is it an expensive hobby to get into. I would like to hand spin it with a drop spindle, not a wheel. Where would be a good place to learn this? TIA! Kelly

knitted squares afghan by Anna MCM
