Much ado about spinning
Some ramble about my spinning adventures. This here is merino
Made into a tote. One photo before and one after felting. I have to admit I am very pleased with the result
It came out just as I imagined.
Also... I ordered some Superwash BFL Top at Babylonglegs. 'Very Berry' and some undyed BFL fibre
Superspeedy delivery and it came with some coffee. ;-)
The 'Very Berry' is on the wheel now and it spins up beautiful. I so love it!
Today I played a bit with this new drum carder
First I tried some Merino
A nice first batt came off
Second try out was some raw fleece of an Ouessant
And here is the batt. Not bad at all, but this fleece was more difficult to card. Well, I will give the fleece some much needed more washes before I try again anyway.
