Who knew it would be so much fun?Since last Wednesday's class, I've flick-carded and Kool-Aid-dyed two three-ounce batches of donated Romney locks I had previously washed. I've assembled eleven spindles, tested them, and got leaders started on all of them (plus a couple extras), figuring out while I did so that I have a strong preference for bottom whorls and why.
All that fiber play gave me the itch to start my own spinning project, so I chose a four-ounce braid of super-fine Merino I got as a prize in a contest. The colors remind me of violets IRL. I just may have to take my miniSpinner in my carry-on bag so I can keep spinning in Texas!That's it for today from . . .

Beautiful colors! You've lit a little fire in my heart to learn to spin wool someday! Keep posting!
Like you, I prefer the bottom whorl; somehow it's easier for me to use.
The wool is lovely and like the colors but that roving is fabulous!
Texas? Did I miss something?
