As the whorls go around
Here you have my latest spinning project. It is gotland fiber and it is very soft. Well it is soft once you wash it. I noticed that it was just a little dirty, not much. I found this breed to be a very easy to spin because is a very luxurious fiber. Long staple about 3 to 5 inches. I got 224 grams, with about 386 yards!
Here is another one, this time BFL, 105 grams, with a yield of about 198 yards. It is very springy and cushy. It was easier to spin that what I expected.
What a difference trying to make lace at a 105 grams and 324 yards of yarn. More pictures to come. Thanks for stopping by.

Gotland Spun and a sock
So I have been spinning some fiber. This fiber is gotland, silvery and long staple, has a feel of cotswold. I love this fiber and have some more waiting until 2015. I will have to tell you later why, but right now I won't get into the details. These were two bobbins full.
Amazing I only had very little left from one bobbin, which makes me very happy. I did a navajo ply of this, I may use it to hold the skein together.
