Right Round

Summer is such a nice time for spinning. I can be outside, not so many interruptions - like - life. So I've been really enjoying the time I've been able to spend at the wheel. There isn't a lot to show for the time but what I do have, I love.
First up, some beautiful alpaca that was so very easy to work ("the book" said it would be.) I decided I wanted to separate the three colors for a longer stretch of each color and make a three ply yarn.

One more puff of fluff to go.


This is completed but still soaking wet (because I forgot it was soaking in the sink downstairs since Sunday!). It's 1 ounce of silk / merino / bamboo / Tencel in "Grapevine" from the The Fiber Studio. The fiber was in a batt which I've decided I quite like working from. I think it'll look much better once it's dry and fluffed a bit. And modeled appropriately.

LOL about Sammy's butt comment! ;)

I'm thinking Sammy won't really sit still long enough for you to do a proper fitting.

We've had so much rain here lately that I haven't been able to spin outside for a while. That's about to change today, though!

I think Sammy would look better in Green(ish) Valley but that's just me.

Soaking since Sunday? All clean now? lol.

Yea - that'll take a while with this humidity...

I'm looking forward to seeing Sammy in a sweater. :)

Soaking since Sunday sounds like something I'd do. (It also looks like a good song title.)

I'm impressed you can sit outside in the humidity and spin!

Dear kitty

Everything makes our butts look big. It is how we arrange ourselves that matters you know!
