Thought I’d show off some of my spinning.

This is my first spin – Corriedale Lambswool. I dyed part of it to see how the raw fleece would take the food colouring dye. I found I will have to de-lanolise it a bit before dyeing next time. Spun as a worsted.

This is my second spin – Merino Roving from Ewe Give Me The Knits in Moroccan Nights and Midnight Black. It’s ended up around a DK knitting weight, and I have about 290m. Spun as a semi-woolen.

This is Spin number three – Merino Roving from Ewe Give Me The Knits in Stormy Night and Kingfisher. It seems to be about a Fingering/Sport weight, and I have about 585m. Spun as a semi-woolen.

And this is my wheel. This lovely thing is what is helping create these beautiful yarns! She doesn’t have a name yet.. but she’ll tell me soon

Currently, she has some lovely Merino Soy roving being spun on her, in lovely springtime colours, which I will ply with a Rayon plying thread. I’m really looking forward to the end product. I’m spinning so I’ll get around a DK weight yarn which is being spun as a worsted.

I have become a spinner! No, not on a bike in a class, but with a wheel and wool!

For my birthday, I got a lovely little pre-loved wheel from my husband and son. She needs a little love, and a name, but she spins a nice yarn. Literally.

I have spun some Corriedale fleece, and some lovely Merino roving from Ewe Give Me The Knits.

I will post pictures soon, as I have another yarn on the wheel
