Spinning again…
I’ve got a fine thread going and a thicker thread that is a lovely violet/green combo from Zweeliger’s (I know I got the spelling wrong) in Frankenmuth.
Spinning is pretty mindless for me, so I can listen to podcasts while I spin. I don’t have a niddy-noddy to skein the yarn (I’m going to Home Depot tomorrow to pick up the PVC pipe to make one – I made a smaller one but I want a 2-yard skein for this yarn. I know I made one that size but I think it’s at work.)
I’ve got a few dozen yards plyed (three stands of thread twisted together) that I can make into a skein as soon as I have the niddy-noddy made.
Next weekend I’m taking a little field trip to Frankenmuth to drop off alpaca fiber to have it made into roving – I don’t want to spend the money on a drum carder that I’ll use only a few times – besides, Zwellinger’s will wash the fiber for me.
