Been thinking about this recently. Spinning is AT LEAST two crafts: the fibre prep and the actual spinning. I guess it would be theoretically possible to spin exclusively pre-combed top, but even then there's likely to be some compaction in storage/shipping and you'll need to re-prep.

So we've got carding, combing, blending (with a blending board, hackle, or drum carder) as sub-crafts. Does dying count? What else is there?

Ofc once you've actually made your yarn you can do pretty much anything with it, but I'm thinking about all the processes between "raw material" and "finished yarn".
