{hand spinning}
- Shetland from Custom Woolen Mills is done! Spun unsupported long draw on the Hansen Mini Spinner with WooLee Winder Flyer, and plyed on my Lendrum DT. Dyed up using a random mixture of dye stocks I've had in my closet for almost a year.
- I mention Drafting from Worsted to Woolen by Jacey Boggs Faulkner as a good source for more information on woolen spinning.
{review}
- I review Modern Lopi by Lars Rains, which is perfect, considering my current obsession with all things Lopi! A very enjoyable book, worth a second look. Would you like to win your own copy? Enter here.
