From Fluff to Stuff -
I grabbed a 4 ounce bump of a wafa purchase from alpaca pines. *I finished this spinning and plying.
I finished spinning and plying the blue, purple, and green fiber that I got from Qwerky FIberwerks .
Right now what I have in the works, I have 2 ounces of a pindrafted roving from Clear Sky Fiber Arts spun up.
I spun up a Columbia/Merino batt from Leaf Livestock.
I also spun up an ounce of some rolags I made when I was messing with my carders and spun up a columbia/ramboullet combed top from Leaf livestock and plied those together. I just love their fiber. It’s so lovely.
I took a braid of superwash merino that I got in my grittyknits monthly fiber club and put it on my blending board with some merino, angora, sari silk. Mostly in light blues. I used about half of it in rolags. I then took the other half and spun it as is and plied it.
Aside from that, I took a couple hours on Sunday to make up some GORGEOUS rolags if I do say so myself. I feel like I’m really starting to get the hang of it.
I did spin up two of my rolag colors, blue/green and made a gorgeous plied yarn with them. About 2 ounces of each color.
I also spun up half of my Romney lamb roving from 3L &S farms. I spun up 4 of 8 ounces. It spun up quick. What a joy to spin!
Ooh Shiny!
