Spinning, Flicking and What Am I Going To Do With This????

Last night I finished with the spinning of some Icelandic batts. I'm not sure I really like Icelandic although I do like the way it plied up with the leftover Romney Cross.

Still not sure what I'm going to do with any of my homespun. I've thought about possibly making a bag.

For now it just got added to "the door."

I've begun processing some of the wool I recently dyed. I think I made a mess of things. Not sure. The wool isn't felted, I do know that but I think in its present state the only thing I can do is either hand card or drum card it. Since at present time I do not own a drum carder either I'll have to hand card or put it away until I get a drum carder.

I was able to gather a few locks out of this mess.

I combed a few of locks and ran it through a diz. Diz is for the birds!!!! I also flicked some of the locks. Ready for spinning.

I've been sick all week and still not feeling all that great. Some kind of head, chest junk. I attempted to go to church this morning. I did stay for Sunday School and long enough to see some friends from our former church. Typically my husband and I lead worship twice a month and this was our week. I was there for practice but didn't do any singing. One of our background singers, Amy, said when she felt bad she went and bought a new pair of shoes and that always made her feel better. I don't necessarily want a new pair of shoes, but how about a portable spinning wheel, a loom, a drum carder, or lots more fiber. That might do the trick.!!!!!
