Last night Grace and I went spinning with the Island Pond Spinners and had a lovely time. I spun up the brown bat that Rose sent. It looks really lustrous and shiny and it feels sort of slippery as you spin it. She thought it was either Black faced Leicester or Romney. After that I started to spin some of the llama I bought at Rhinebeck. Boy is that stuff soft! Carol told me it meant they’d done a good job removing guard hairs and offered to give me some more if I didn’t mind removing guard hairs myself. I’ll try almost anything once and it’s such a pleasure to spin that I’ll surely be motivated to do a nice job getting them out. I think I need to take the last of my yarn budget out to the Fiber Loft and buy a few more bobbins. I’m not really ready to ply anything but I’m running out of bobbins.
As the wheel turns.

Have fun spinning. I have been to the Fiber Loft and will have to take a trip also (maybe after Christmas). After you finally ply, you will magically have many bobbins waiting to be filled again!
