Dave put out the challenge to spin stash this summer, and I took it up. I haven't yet inventoried my fiber, but it shouldn't take me too long to do so once I'm off for the summer.
In the meantime, I've been spinning this delicious tussah I purchased from the lovely Nancy at Long Ridge Farm at the CT Sheep and Wool Festival a few weeks ago. It is dreamy. I only have 1/3 ounce, but I'm hoping to get enough to knit a little something wonderful.
That sounds like a wonderful way to spend the summer. I’ll be rooting for you from the land of socks.
Is that a Bosworth spindle? I just bought a Bosworth Midi down in MD last weekend and spun up a cheapo little roving snake for practice. It was really lovely! And I got a woolee winder for the lendrum. So spinning is in order for me, too! Oh, yeah, and socks with Cookie. 🙂
Nice Bossie. And you’re going to have a great summer. Imagine spinning some of your stash, and then WEAVING with it???
NICE. I finally got to spinning for about a half hour a few weeks ago. It felt wonderful. I can’t wait to see what you spin up this summer. Enabler. 😉

Ooo, I love Bosworth spindles, and Tussah silk… (sigh) Beautiful.
