Newest Yarn

Here is the yarn I talked about before. It was dyed as roving and then spun up. It is a Finnsheep roving that I have had. The hot pour method was new for me and even though I used 3 different colors it came out with very subtle differences.medium_roving_to_yarn_009.jpg My next spinning project involves 3 different KoolAid dyed rovings. This is roving from one of the sheep we used to own and is about a medium VM roving. medium_roving_to_yarn_011.jpgI have been picking out the bits before I spinn so I don't have to stop so often. Normally I wouldn't bother even spinning stuff this dirty but it has sentimental value as Sarah was a great sheep. She along with Jack and Elizabeth all went to live a a great place around the corner and I hope to get a fleece off Elizabeth again this year.
