Spinning - Angora
i LOVE angora
and i never treated me with angora clothings
so while searching around on Ebay, i found a german angora breeder !!!
i started off small a few tests, i found i prefer loose rolags best
a bit of spinning and a bit of knitting and i am alllllll owwwwwwwhhhhhhhh yea i want a shirt or shawl of this !!
so i made a BIG pile of rolags of my left over 17 grams of angora, and spun … with my turkish
had also 10 grams of white angora …
this is not the end of the story !!!

Spinning - red Merino blend = Firestar
2 strands of firely soft Merino
1 strand 97 gram + 1 strand 99 gram - 260 meters together
meanwhile i made me a Blending board as you know, so making rolags should be much faster … one would think …
but that is not as easy as it sound ….
this time i blended 3 shades of reds together, also 3 shades of orange, and 3 shades of yellow.
i forgot to photograph from the beginning, so i got just the shades of red to show, and my camera hates red :/
so now I got 3 piles of red, and blend it together … the same i did with the others - earlier

Spinning – white Wensleydale Locks
got a kilo of Wensleydale locks on ebay
now i need just some time to wash them
not forget to test around first, so i dont ruin the locks
ruining like that
putting locks into the water, without securing them together *facepalm*
the float straight away apart, like fish in a pond
