Spinning - Eiderwool

 

ordered me some nice wool in 100 gram bags,

007

and started off with the Eider Wolle … this comes from the Eiderschaf, thats a breed living at the Eider

its a rather rough and coarse wool, but was nice to get it spun Smiley mit geöffnetem Mund

but first i seperated and predrafted it a bit … i LOVE how wool looks when its like that Smiley mit geöffnetem Mund

sadly its to rough and scratchy near the skin, so now i have a 100 gram ball in my secret wool stash *laughs+
