Spent some time this morning picking and carding Esther fleece that I dyed last summer-
Felt a bit like visiting with the girl herself, which was kind of bittersweet. So glad I still have some of her fleece to work with. I think that I’m going to use these (and other) colors to build back up my stranded colorwork yarn stash. So, small batches (1-2 oz) in a wide range of colors, at about 80-90 yds/oz.
I just wrapped up a custom chiengora (dog fur) spinning job for some folks I met at the St. Distaff’s Day Spin -in, so it will be fun to change gears and do some color blending.
Will take a bunch of dyed batts and my handcards with me to the Spindrifter’s Retreat next weekend and just play 🙂
Going to close out this post with just a little quiet spinning with Elsa. I thought the light in the wool room looked so pretty on her dark golden finish-
Have a good week, folks-
That spinning video is beautiful and peaceful. Thanks
