So I got a wheel!
'
Hello! It has been awhile. I don’t know how you guys do it by writing in your blogs so much. I am such a slacker! Any who I am writing this post to show you my newest toy that my Hubby surprised me with after begging him for 8 months. (Love ya!) I have a lot of things I have done recently but I want to reserve this whole post to my newest love, sorry hubby. My Spinolution Mach II spinning wheel. I bought it from a local dealer here in my town and we had it shipped to her and I picked it up today. Here name is Wildharefiber and she has many wonderful things in her shop. I am trying her roving right now as well and got a niddy noddy that I will be using soon.
I am not very good right now but I am working on it. I have gone through my fiber stash and have tried out three different kinds of roving. I really need to work on my drafting because I am no good at it right now. I will be updating, hopefully, regularly and showing how my progress is going. I hope tonight to finish at least 2 singles so that I can let them rest and ply them together tomorrow. I am a little nervous about all this new stuff but I am going to charge ahead and hope not to screw up to much!
Here’s to hoping for a little piece of quite!

Congrats on the wheel! I'd love to spin some day, but I hardly have time for my current hobbies as it is! I bet you'll do great once you get the hang of things :)

wonderful. I can not wait to see what you create with it. good luck with it also, I have always wondered what it would be like to spin my own yarn. probably addicting as dyeing my own fabric.. o geeze not to mention dyeing my own yarn too.. Thanks for sharing, Have fun with it,Amy
