skeins

It's been a while since my last post! I have been so busy weaving and trying to keep up with the rest of my life, that I haven't had much computer time. I haven't made much progress on the tapestry project. I'm trying to spin a bit every day, but not always getting there. Here's a picture of the plied Jacobs Sheep yarn. I'm winding it off of the bobbin onto a niddy noddy to make it into a skein. Then I will wash it in warm water with some Kookaburra Woolwash. That sets the twist and will help mothproof it a bit (I hope). After the skein is dry, I wind it into a ball and it's ready to use. I've started another skein of a very dark brown solid Jacobs wool at home, and I still need to finish up the white mohair at the store. I also have been going through my other fiber and have lots of wonderful colors and blends to spin up. I'll have to warp the loom pretty soon!
