After Midnight Madness Part 2

 

I said that I was going to show you the crazy things I have bought in this bag when all the moving pieces get here. 



The last piece of the puzzle showed up yesterday in a box with a sheep on it. Squeee......



The bag was from Hipstrings and it contained three packages of cotton. Spinning cotton. 



The box with the sheep on it contained another box and a couple of samples of more spinning cotton.





In that pretty box was a teeny tiny spindle called a tahkli that is used for spinning cotton. Why all the interest in spinning cotton?



Because Wolf Pup is back in the living area cleaned and ready for a project. I've always wanted to weave something from my own hand spun cotton. 



It's going to take me forever to spin enough cotton for a towel so this kit will be the first thing on the loom when I get the time to start winding it all on.




It's not like I'm in a hurry to get any of this done. Look at this pile giant of towels I just unpacked. All woven by yours truly. I had no idea I had so many. Oh, well....it's like everything else I like to make from socks to quilts. Too much and too many-but you gotta do something all day.

  2. Oh, you can weave again! Yippee! The cotton can be a good spin if you remember it isn't wool!
