A Dose of Fiber

 The Polwarth singles that were on the Ladybug are done. I'm going to let them rest a while before I try to ply them. They might be a little more energized than usual since I was peddling away to GOT.



 While they rest I picked up an old drop spindle project to keep my hands busy through season four. I've been collecting these singles since last year's TdF.



 It's been a long time since I picked up a drop spindle. I almost forgot how much I love them.



The Traditional wheel is also empty now so I've been looking around the stash for something to do on it and found this. That's two bags of fleece I washed last summer. The beige is a Shetland and the white is a California Red.



I'd been making rolags with it. Now I think it's time to give them a spin.

    I'm driving myself crazy because I haven't spun in forever! What beautiful singles for the Polwarth!

    Beautiful spinning! I'm working hard to finish up a couple of large knitting projects I have going so that I can spend some focused time learning to use a spindle. Can't wait to give it a try!

    Oh, such beautiful fibers Debra. I have never used a drop spindle, and every time you mention it I think I should get one for myself and give it a try. Blessings, Betsy

    I love the paper bags with the wool, it looks like candy!

    So you spin the rolags together to make yarn?

    Oh yes, a binge watch knit is SO good. And GOT is just the thing, to re watch before the final season!!

    Slightly jealous, I've never got the hang of making rolags or spinning from them xx
