Everything is hard but my spinning is going well.

Roving is Malibu sunset from divine dyeworks.

It's 75% merino wool and 25% bamboo.

And it feels great to spin.

Tour de Fleece 2021 - Day 21

Well, no spinning today (too busy writing! lol) but side-related: these treasures were waiting for me when I got home from work! Going to have some fun with them, let me tell you!

On a second sideways note: one of the tension springs on my spinning wheel snapped and broke when I moved it the other day, so I probably won't get to try it again before the end of TdF, but I do have replacements on order! (I will figure out how to use that thing if it kills me!)

stranger lands, disturbed the dust would be

  would be, if by foreign travel I should ever be able to read straight along without stopping, out of that book...” It is to be suspected that this puttering boy, destined to travel in far stranger lands, disturbed the dust on books

—

ex Charles Olson, The Growth of Herman Melville : Prose Writer and Poetic Thinker; a Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Wesleyan University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (1933) : 4

a rehearsal for Call Me Ishmael (1947) ?

The quoted passage — concerning D’Alembert in French, in the father’s “large library-case, tall as a small house” — is from Melville’s Redburn, His First Voyage: Being the Sailor-boy Confessions and Reminiscences of the Son-of-a-Gentleman, in the Merchant Service (1849) : 18 (University of California copy, hathitrust)
