Fiber Day
The weather today was awsome so decided to have a fiber day and get some work done on fiber projects. Got back at carding and blending the Chinny’s Challenge fibers again and think I got them blended how I want them. Might run some of the batts thru the drum carder again with some more white. Although the more I worked with them I like some of the bold colours now that they are mixed up with some of the other coloures. The smaller rovings are the ones done as samples with the handcards and then the larger batts are from off the drum carder. I’m anxious to get to spin it. I did do some spinning today and found out something that was pretty cool. Was spinning up the rest of the Scottish Black Face and have a whole whopping amount spun up
. So was being lazy and didn’t want to take any thing off the other bobbins (that has been sitting on them for we won’t mention how long) and decided to see if one of the bobbins from my other wheel would work and SHAZAM it did. 
It’s the Louet 15 that I was using and then the bobbins from my handmade arts and crafts lookin wheel fit on it and so tommorrow I’m going to see if the bobbins for the babe wheel will fit on it. That would be nice so then I could just have more options for Ah, when I’m like lazy about takin the yarn off the bobbins. Tommorrow I’ll post pics of the yarns I finished up. Hope eveyone had a great weekend
