durham_knits at 08:42pm on 18/07/2009 under spinningI've been busy as a bee, playing with my BRAND NEW spinning wheel! She's a Kromski Minstrel purchased from the Woolery, and she spins like a dream. Of course, since she's a Polish wheel, she needs a good Polish name.
Magda, in all her (slightly blurry iphone picture) glory:
And now, gratuitous yarn pictures. They are, unfortunately, slightly yellow thanks to the iphone pictures. At some point I'll get a nice place to snap photos of my yarns.
Hoobody fiber, South American Punta colorway, 2 oz., ~66 yards.
Superwash Merino, Ocean colorway, 2.1 oz., 2 skeins of ~180 yards each, plied with pale blue thread.
Alpaca/Merino/Nylon blend, Green Tweed, 2.3 oz, ~180 yards in light fingering/sport weight.
And finally, on my wheel now... England Alpaca from a local source, 50g of it in a laceweight single, to be plied on itself:
