The first skein of yarn for Pat’s hat is finished. This is 2 plies of cormo x romney and one ply angora. It’s about sportweight and is very fluffy and springy.

I’m currently spinning some lovely angora from a rabbit named Ricky. This will hopefully become part of a hat for one of the librarians I help out a couple mornings a week at my local library. I’ll ply this with … Continue reading

The shetland roving from Gilead Fiber Farm was a delight to spin up. It was probably the fastest yarn I’ve ever spun, start to finish. I filled two bobbins in an afternoon and plied it the next morning. It washed … Continue reading
