Gray heathered fleece

I finished spinning up my gray fleece that I bought at the 2008 Taos Wool Festival.

Here’s what I started with:

I got a bit over 300 yards.

That seems kind of small considering the huge bag of fleece I bought. I did spin it into a bulky two ply. The mini skein was leftovers on one bobbin that I spun up Navajo style.

This fleece was scratchy and full of veggie matter so a bulky weight seemed best.

How much veggie matter was there? Here’s a pic of my lap while I was spinning this stuff.

I was listening to the Sticks and Strings Podcast. It’s a good show.

Prana is still as cute as ever. Here he is sleeping:
