Wait There's More

I am still spinning yarn every day. You know, I hadn' t been doing this much spinning and I am really enjoying it. I will have to keep it up, when the Tour De Fleece is over.

Below is a 3.8 oz roving, handpainted by Cordova Studios. I have named it Rainbow Sherbet. The fiber is a superwash merino, and I have tried to spin it pretty fine.




Here's another WIP that I have just finished. I purchased the roving for this when I went to Kid and Ewe, in Boerne, TX Nov, 2009. I have a lb of it and it is a wool/mohair blend. Altogether, I have 889 yards.

    The spinning wheel is an Ashford Kiwi. I have painted the wheel black and then stenciled white and gray sheep on it.
