OK so I think that I might
be a little addicted to spinning now! Spinning in colour is so much more fun
than using plain cream. I blame it on the colour.
I’ve moved on to the
spinning wheel now, for speed and to try to spin a finer yarn. I can get a
better consistency to the thickness using the wheel, as I don’t have to let go.
My wheel was a charity shop
find from my mum and has a tendency to make a lot of noise. It squeaks, clunks,
and creaks. However it does work.
I started by teasing the
dyed merino tops until I have a thin strand, which I then wind into a makeshift
ball.

This is the first ply. It
only took me a couple of hours to spin on the wheel. I had a couple of breaks
when the thread got too thin, but I think it looks ok so far.

Now for the second ply or
should I do some work?
