Had my crafty date with my friend at the library. I did a bit of knitting and spinning, she did some cross stitch and basket weaving :)
My second little sausage of yarn I spun with my drop spindle. Still getting the hang of it.
Finally giving spinning another try, I managed to understand how drafting works better this time, obviously I'm an absolute beginner, but feeling proud of myself.
This was the last of the humbug jacob wool I span up before I plyed it on itself.
My third ever spinning project! It's Dorset Horn, I'm almost finished with it, just a little more fibre left to work up.
So it turns out my neighbor has a cotton tree. I didn't even know cotton could be a tree (i thought it was a bush). Anyways, climate is weird and this tree is both blooming and producing mature seed pods right now:
Pink! And white! On the same tree !
Anyways, he gave me permission to harvest, so i spent last night googling how to prepare cotton for spinning...
So i extracted the fluff from the seed pods, separated the fluff from the seeds, and tried my best to form "puni"s ?? Apparently the name for rolags in cotton instead of wool? I am uncertain.
My wheel and bobbins are full of wool right now, but as soon as I have some space I'm gonna try to spin it!
I love this article because I can relate to it. :) Spinning is like my own meditation.
