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.

  5. 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!

  7. 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

  12. 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!!
