And Now, For Something Completely Different...

I spun some color this weekend! This is the Beach colorway in Corriedale wool from Kendig Cottage. I have about 12 ounces of it and while I have no idea what I'll use it for, I decided to go ahead and start spinning it. This is 1/4 of it and it spun up very quickly. I'm trying to spin this with very little twist so that it stays fluffy. I'm shooting for somewhere around sport weight as a finished yarn. (Obviously, I'm not worried about spinning a specific size of yarn here - I'm just letting the wool tell me what size it wants to be and I'm concentrating more on keeping it fluffy.) It's definitely what I needed after spinning all of the Merino and Kid Mohair! I did get that all washed and now its got some bounce to it (it was just smushed on the bobbins), but I haven't gotten another picture of it yet - its been dark around here and I need more light to get a good picture. I also got the front band done on Order and Chaos, but I haven't gotten it sewn together yet. I need to spread it out a bit to sew it together and certain people (Finn, ahem) seem to think its a place to roll around and chase his tail on. Maybe I can get some done after walkies today, when he passes out.
