My Creative Space is all about wool. I thought I would have moved on as my sewing list of things to do is getting longer but this spinning caper has me captive.
This wool is being washed as I type. It was unwashed fleece and the first thing I have spun, I loved the feel of the lanolin as I played with it. It looks pretty good and I am hoping I can find a project for it at some stage. I like the effect of the light wool and dark together.
This was the roving I have mentioned before but it is now washed and ready to go. I just need to cast off the couple of projects I have on the go so I can cast on and turn this into something :)
I have been shopping too. 3 new bobbins, a Lazy Kate, a Niddy Noddy and a book on Spinning. There will be no stopping now!!

ReplyDeleteSounds like an addiction in the works! My aunt spins wool and says it's truly addictive.
ReplyDeleteYou go girl - looks great - I have my eye on a drop spindle from that shop:) Wow - bobbins are not cheap are they - wonder if my Grnadad could make them? He can copy anything if he has the item:)
ReplyDeleteIt looks so textured, I want to reach out and touch your pictures. You must have lovely supple hands after all that lanolin! The spinning sounds meditative... I like it.
ReplyDeletethe possibilities ... i can see some nice socks or a hat coming for winter.
ReplyDeleteLove the colours in both of these. Lanolin is lovely to feel and so nice for your hands!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are gorgeous! What a great project, I can fully understand why you are ignoring your sewing pile. This is so inspiring. X

ReplyDelete<3 love, you clever lady !!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are turning into a bad, bad influence. Bet it's highly therapeutic and zen-inspiring too, right?
ReplyDeleteI usually look at wool from the other end-felling old sweaters. I am sure the spinning is addictive.
