Much ado about spinning

Image
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.

Thank you so much Lyndsay-Jane for sending me a lovely package! It is obvious you did put a lot of thought in it and did some research. This yarn, these colours. Aren't they beautiful! Two hanks of Blue Sky dyed cotton and one Manos del Uruguay. Soft, so soft! A knitter can never have too much bags. This one is gorgeous and already in use. Along with it a tin of Knitters Little Helper hand balm. Very useful. My favourite coffee: Cafedirect Machu Picchu Peru. Came with a instructions to make cold brewed coffee. I'll try that soon. Two Yarn Forward magazines. No, I don't have them already! The Bobbi Bear pattern is so cute! And here the group shot Thanks again, you have been a brilliant partner.
