Project number 5 for the year. A gradient spin with 5 different yarns from the same 8 ounces of roving. This roving was thinner then pencil roving. Yes, it is possible. It was a tricky spin until I got my rhythm down. The biggest skein was a two ply of the yarn. The 4 smaller skeins were plyed with commercially produced yarn. This will be off to a new home as soon as it is packed up.
A blog about my life, my fiber arts and pictures of my finished work. I will also throw in the very occasional recipe or shopping tip.

Bumps in the Road.
I feel like my body is back in high school with constant sprains and rotating tendonitis. I really wish I could figure out my own body. I am not sure how, but I sprained my ankle. I tried to exercise tonight using my Cubii2. I lasted less then a minute going very slow. Walking is painful. I know I will be making a call tomorrow.
Spin Together 2021 is coming up in a few weeks. I honestly don’t know if I will be able to use either of my spinning wheels. I have been debating an e spinning wheel for ages,. I tried the eew mini spinning wheel, I was not impressed. I am leaning towards the Hanson e spinner. If I don’t get the e spinner, I will go old school with drop spindles. I might just have a few laying around.
