When a bad body day collides with a highly emotional day there is only one thing to do. Spin art yarn. Why art yarn? Art yarn does not have any parameters. If the yarn is not perfectly balanced who cares. The idea is to have fun. I make bumps. I spin thick and thin. I spun for 2 hours. Yes my new medicine is helping. I make my art yarn batts from bits and pieces. I play with color. I never know how it will turn out once it is plyed and washed. Hopefully it will go with some other art yarn to make a fabulous new shawl for me in a smaller size. I thought that my shawls would still fit after losing a lot of sizes, not so much. So I need new shawls.
I also figured out why my Lendrum Spinning Wheel was acting up, it literally had a screw lose. So rather than get my tool kit for my spinning wheels, I borrowed a pliers and flat head screw driver from John. It took more time to locate the tools than to fix the issue. I guess this means that every so often I should check all the screws out.
I then changed spinning wheels to my Louet Victoria. After cleaning and oiling the flyer I was ready to spin the core for plying the art yarn just because I can get about 10 ounces on the bigger bobbin. Once the white is spun, I will ply all the art yarn that I spun today. From right to left. Pale pink, purple, red and a green yellow blend.
