Almost Finished!

I was encouraged last week to finish up a spinning project that has been in UFO land for at least 2 years!  It has been a learning experience for me, as most of my spinning is.  The fiber came in the form of  "Top",  which is a more compacted "rope" than "Roving" or "Rolags".  I had no experience with this kind of fiber.  It was also space dyed, which means that there were 4 or 5 different colors spaced along the length of this "rope" of prepared fiber.  I really have a problem with variegated stuff.  Yarn or fiber, it isn't that I don't like it, I really just don't know how to handle it.  So I started in, blending the colors as I went.  It really is a beautiful yarn, I just wish I had done all the blending at the beginning, so that the skeins would be exactly the same colors.  They are really pretty close, I shouldn't be so picky, I will post  a picture when I finish it all.

I tried to get all the yarn in one skein, but even thought the Louet S10 has gigantic bobbins, it wouldn't all fit.  The picture at the top has a more accurate color.  All I need to do now is find my Niddy-noddy and skein this up, wash it and let it dry.  I will then heave a sigh of relief and hand it over to my daughter, who has been so very patient!

I have done no weaving at all this week, the barn has taken all of my energy.  We are almost done, and later on today I will post some progress pics on Farmstead Studio.  I can't wait to be back to normal, but better, with the new barn and greenhouse in place!

Until next time, Happy Weaving, Tina
