Figuring out how to do it smoothly without too much prep work.
Here is the Romney fleece in the bag:
And here it is slightly combed, combed at least enough to get the worst tangles and clumps out:
And here it is on the bobbin! Hard to see what it looks like but I do see the “lavender tint” that was the selling point for me!
I have begun to spin the Romney fleece I bought at the Commonground Fair. I think it’s going well – still trying to figure out the best method. But I like it. I’m spinning kind of novelty – it’s lumpy but seems to be easy.
Pictures to follow!
I have finished the singles on this particular roving and am now plying.
Once done, then I will begin to spin the romney fleece in the raw! I bought this fleece with my cousin Donna – we split it – from the Commonground Fair. She had actually been looking at white fleeces and then this one caught my eye – “lavender tint” it said on the bag! It was beautiful and fairly clean. Perfect to spin in the raw as we had just seen some spinners doing at the Fair.
So I will begin this in the next few days! Donna, have you started spinning yours yet?
