Day 6 Tour de Fleece

Today I will be traveling so I will be using my drop spindle, spinning mulberry silk from Zebisis : ) yummy fiber.

Happy 4th of July! Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful day and welcome to day 3 of Tour de Fleece! Here is the picture of the skein that I spun on day 1 and 2 Romney and Lincoln 219 yds. The Romney fleece was purchased from the Barnstable Fair, and the Lincoln fleece was purchased from the first year that the Big E hosted a fiber festival! Looking forward to this year's Big E fiber festival : ) And I will be at the Barnstable Fair demonstrating spinning, hope to see you down there as it is a wonderful Fair for all !

Tour de Fleece day 2

Day 2 of Tour de Fleece, team Russian underpants, day 1 spent time spinning on my CPW (Canadian Production Wheel) spinning a Romney fiber, sorry no pics on that day ; ( Today I spun Lincoln fiber and plied it with the Romney, will post the yarn picture tomorrow when it is dry, but I do have this picture of me spinning the Lincoln fiber. Twisted the footman on my CPW, just like a bike, have to stop and fix the coat hanger that served as a footman : p

Summer time

Beginning of summer but still feels like spring. It is nice being on top of a mountain because the temperature is cooler. I have been busy getting things ready for my tatting class and creating ways to use tatting. Found out that you can use tatted items to imprint on polymer clay!

Also dyed yarn , knitted and felted a cloche hat and trimmed it with tatting.

And knitted and felted a purse and added a felted tatted item and trimmed the top flap of the purse with a tatted trim.
