Gray heathered fleece
November 4th, 2009
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.
A close up:
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:

The yarn is beautiful, and I can’t even see any veggie matter in the pics! Your lap must have gotten most of it! Damn you’re becoming a great spinner!!!

[…] Recently Laura and I got together for a dye day. It was so fun! I brought my gray heathered yarn and some commercial socks to dye. She had yarn and roving to kettle dye and handpaint. […]

Abbey-Thank you! There’s still veggie matter in there but I’ll make the yarn work.
Phyllis-Thanks! It was certainly a spinning challenge.
