Spinning
I've caught the spinning bug again. It's something that happens... I'll go for months with my spinning wheel sitting in a corner, gathering dust and then I'll pull it out and want to do nothing but spin for weeks at a time.So, I went to California for the last weekend of January. I got these gloves from Haight Street in San Francisco, and they are seriously the best thing ever.
But yes, I got back and I pulled out my spinning wheel and I went kinda crazy. In the two weeks since then, I finished spinning this
and then pulled out and spun this.
The first is alpaca picked up at Rhinebeck two years ago. The second is some kind of wool that I think I picked up at a Maryland Sheep & Wool, but I honestly couldn't say for sure.
Here's a close up on the colors for the second...
Whee, new yarn!
