Wool

 


After months of set backs of various sorts, 10kgs of wool roving arrived yesterday for me to spin. My Ashford Traveller and I were both a bit creaky after several years without spinning, but we soon got back into rhythm. I'm planning to make socks and scarves for winter markets. There's  not a lot of time now, but I'll see how it goes.

    Lovely! I passed my spinning wheel on to my daughter. I just couldn't get the hang of it. She seems to have the touch!

    I'm going to a spinning demonstration today. I dare not touch the wool, I seem to be allergic in my old age. Perhaps someone will be spinning linen or cotton???

      There are certainly a lot of fibers other than wool that can be spun. I like spinning cotton.

    I always fancied myself sitting at a spinning wheel and bought myself one. I usually get on with most crafts but found spinning just wasn't my forte.

      Ah well, you gave it a go, some crafts suit us better than others.
