My Baby Came Home!
I ordered my wheel last week, believing it would arrive in 3-4 weeks. Imagine my suprise to get a call Friday night letting me know it's in! I'm so glad I had yesterday off so I could go by the shop and get it. I knew I'd be getting a lazy kate and niddy noddy with it, plus some fiber. Some fiber? Some??? I got two huge ball of natural corridale (I think) and two huge balls of brown. Plus a cone of gold thread for plying to add some sparkle. I'm in love with my new wheel. As of yet she's unnamed. I have a feeling, she's going to get a New age-y name, as I've been spinning to Amethystium both last night and today. Great stuff.
I'm spinning fairly evenly, though I think this first yarn will be plied, dyed, and felted. I'm spinning very thin too. I got into that habit with the spindle, and it's hard to break. I tried to spin a bit of that tan-ish merino for the Expo, but I think I need to work my way up to that. It's a bit like learning all over again.
So I know you are dying to see my new baby... So here we go! First off, is my Traveller and spinning chair.
My wheel again with some of the spinning I've done. Pardon the background mess. I need to clean.
My niddy noddy and laxy kate, which I need to finish.
The fiber stash I recieved. Note: These balls are only slightly smaller than basketballs!
Plus, the lovely Wensleydale I ordered off eBay arrived Friday.
