Pedal to the Treadle..............

Today is the sixth day into Tour de Fleece--
I have made some progress--not as much as I would like--

taking time to spin can sometimes be a 'chore'--

It should be a pleasure instead-to sit down at the

wheel and make fibers appear into yarn; have my

favorite glass of lemonade, a bit of music of 

a good movie; pull up the wheel and go to town.

I found this fiber in my stash--it's cashmere, weighing

in at 4.7 ounces--I know who I bought it from and when,

definitely well aged!  It has been processed into a pencil

roving--easy to spin that's for sure!

I spun one bobbin and quit--dull, boring, lacking

color--my spinning sense went out the window!

looked for some color to brighten my hands and

wheel

Found this bag of BFF (Blue Faced Leicester) that I

bought at Spin-in one year from Carol at River's Edge--

let's have a go with this colorful bundle--

I stripped it lengthwise and found I was getting muddy mixture--

I pulled out large sections of green--will spin those at later time.

Then I just took out one section of color at a time--

--like that better.

Then I read this article  from Knitty about spinning

combination and combo--interesting!!
