Every Day in Every Way..........

..........I am getting better - at spinning! I seem to be getting a real consistancy now which I am really pleased about. I have spinning the Fee's Thank You roving that didn't come out as good as the other which I gave to Fee as a thank for the lovely bag she made me for my Joy.

This time I am trying proper Fractal Spinning and you can see the difference on the bobbins
This was spun from the roving keeping the colour as dyed

For this I split the roving into four and then split again.









Over the weekend I put my new found expertise in felting to the test. Using some Corriedale in navy and turquoise with a splash of lime, pink and white for contrast and here is the result:



It is absolutely perfect for keeping the current sock project in one place, something I am not that good at generally.

Also I am carding some Plum Merino and Black Alpaca with silk - when Mr S saw it he said it looked like Witch's Hair so thats what I shall call it. I had previously tried carding the Black Alpaca with Cupcake in Corriedale, but I found it very hard to blend, perhaps the corriedale is too coarse!



I have just over 250 grams of this and as I won the Plum in a raffle I am not sure whether I shall be able to match the colour - will have scour the 'net' for Plum Merino when I have the time......
