Inspiration...
After watching Rita Buchanan & Deb Menz perform their magic on fiber ~ I love how these two ladies are so talented and yet so laid back in their manner, I was itching to get playing with my fiber. It's been too long. I had some romney locks that I had dyed last fall. The tips were weak and I thought that they would be perfect to comb. And while I ended up with beautiful fiber to spin, I didn't enjoy how hard it was on the back of my one hand. Not sure if it was because I was doing something wrong, but my hand is still sore three days later. Not fun. But here's some picks of the process. Haven't taken a picture yet of the skein that I spun up on Saturday. I am happy with the yarn and it will go into mittens along with some green romney that I processed on the drum carder and spun up yesterday. Still need to ply it with the natural grey that had been on the wheel since last fall. Maybe today. :)

That's great Gina! You must be so happy to have found a little fibre time. I finished one bobbin this weekend of the Bamboo blend with Frank's fleece that I drum carded last month.
ReplyDeleteFinding a little extra time is a real treat
It was great - need to carve out more time for it. It's relaxing and fulfills that need to create that is so important for all of us. :)
