I believe that the yarn we spin is capable of mending the broken warp and woof of our life.- Ghandi

After I posted last, I really REALLY wanted to start spinning that new fiber. I looked at my wheel and realized, I didn’t have enough empty bobbins. I had taken my wheel with me when I went to the A&S competition and spun on it a while, and I had a partial bobbin on it from that. I also had a partial bobbin of some teal wool that Kae sent me. Not to mention the two bobbins with purple/fuschia with angelina in it that I got when I got the wheel. *ehem* Anyway, not enough bobbins so I had to empty some off in order to get to the good stuff.

Top yarn: 451 yards undyed random woo (I’m clueless as to what it is)

Bottom yarn: 435 yards GCNI from RunningMoon Farm. This is the same fiber I spun and made a mobieus cowl out of, but this is a bit thinner.

A couple of close ups…

(the color on the teal is more accurate in the photo with both yarns)

I’ve also gotten a bit done on my Charm Wrap

This is the back. I think it’s looking pretty good. Definitely going to have to block the bottom though. (it’s a given)

    Oh, that quote makes me want to start spinning too. I’ve been thinking about getting a drop spindle for awhile.
