#wool!

When I booked this easter trip to the south island, I didn't yet know that I was obsessed with wool, but subsequent events have proven that I am. So I went on pilgrimage to Tallyho Wool Carding! Here's my haul - 1kg of mixed carded Romney and Gotland (I've spun 100g of it already 😅) and 100g of green Corriedale.

(The Corriedale came to me unexpectedly: we went into a weaver's shop in the tiny town of Lawrence and got chatting with the weaver. When she heard I was a spinner, she grabbed this bag and pressed it into my hands. Apparently it came in a package with no name/address and the postie gave it to her as the most likely person in town to know who might have wanted it.)

Day 16 of my wool advent calendar now on the wheel.

Echinacea Green Twister, merino. I was all oh i'll try fractal spinning! Then.... I realised that's for blobby dyed rovings. So... I've tried separatingish into colours and weighed out two 25g similarish order. Sooo... I'll finally 2-ply, and can more easily move the singles somewhere else before that. What with. The single bobbin.

We shall see what happens x'3
