Best time for gym?

I’m transferring to UCLA this fall and heard the gym can get rlly crazy- what’s the least busy time to go?

First time spinning and it feels like my fiber keeps falling apart?

For context I’m using wool I got from deconstructing a beanie and carding (with dog brushes) it a bunch to make it fluffy plus added some tiny bits of scrap thread because I thought why not. I’m also using a makeshift Turkish spindle I made myself… so there’s a lot of uncertainties to say the least.

The problem is when I try to roll rolags from my fiber it doesn’t seem to hold shape. When I go to try spinning it I can’t get very far because whatever I was spinning just separates from my rolag.

I’ve attached a picture of my fiber and attempt at carding it. To anyone who’s experienced- does anything look wrong? Is this a problem with my fiber/fiber preparation or just a skill issue because it’s my first time?
