Practicing, practicing spinning with some years-old roving,
so I will be rightly prepared when this beautiful fleece I brought back with me from Kentucky
is ready for the wheel.

| Help from a friend and my mother last week. They both enjoyed playing with Freckles the Fleece |
In between washing that fleece for the next step,
I wound up some cashmere I splurged on
 |
| The view out my crafty room is always nice no matter what the weather. |
It's cold and rainy here in the Shenandoah Valley on this first day of spring.
I really don't seem to mind.
Soon the outside gardens and barn will need much attention, and the wheel and needles will be still.
One last day by the fire surrounded by wool is quite nice.

Have fun with the fleece! Washing is a lot of work but well worth the effort.
That is a lovely coloured fleece.
Have a nice day.

Ooooooh, the fleece looks wonderful. I knit , but I haven't learned to spin. I wouldn't know where to begin. Is the fleece from your own animals?
Thank you so much for your vist and your kind words. It was a very special time. Have a wonderful week. I do hope you get some quality time knitting. Hugs, Bonnie

Woohooo :-D
Wow...it amazes me how you do that. I have an old spinning wheel almost identical to yours :)
ohhhhh joan, i could not agree more. i love the comfort of indoors, knitting, playing and cooking!!! and when the sun is shining, my favorite place to be is outdoors!!!
i have not learned to "spin" yet but i have been watching and my day will come!! i am so very lucky to have found my farm and these girls!!!
i LOVE seeing the fleece that way, and dreaming of what it will become!!!
I will be following this fleece closely along on its journey. This is very exciting!
Amazing . . . it will be. I would love to watch you spin. I know nothing about this process, the washing, drying, spinning. I look forward to seeing and learning more. And the mystery new piece . . .
