I’m starting to get my groove now, with this merino. I found myself picking up my speed again tonight, and it was OK. I had to slow down a couple of times, but I never “lost it” or let it … Continue reading →

Today with the merino was much better than yesterday. After looking at yesterday’s plied result, I decided to use a little less spin with the next singles and plying. I think that will work better, and we’ll see in another … Continue reading →

Posted on January 22, 2015 by silvergrrl

I have started on the last bobbin of the Falklands wool. It’s almost sad, because I have really enjoyed working with this wool. It’s the first wool I have spun well enough, and like enough, to make a garment from. … Continue reading →

Posted on January 20, 2015 by silvergrrl

New experience tonight – spinning with bandaids on my fingers. Fortunately, the wounds are on my right hand, which holds the fiber source. Not the left hand, which controls the pinch and twist process. However, the little sticky edges of … Continue reading →

Short session today. We are going to the Little Yellow Music House today, and I made risotto, so that’s why I just had a little spinning time. But I’m happy, because I figured out how to avoid a problem where … Continue reading →
