Yes, it is tedious, if you use the hand carders. There is a carder that is a wheel which is much faster. In this image are two types of carders. The one with the handle laying on top is one of two for hand carding. Underneath is a wheeled carding machine which is much faster at cleaning and brushing wool to prepare it for spinning. I have a pair of carders for hand carding. I haven't had a fleece to spin for more than 30 years, due to wool moths.You would have to wash and card it. Its tedious by hand. It would also pack down and be a tad itchy; the same reason you don't knit your tighty whiteys out of wool.
Save the wool for sweater jackets.
