I've fallen in love again!

I bought a lamb's fleece on Ebay last week. It arrived on Friday and I was delighted! It is the most beautiful, soft, long stapled fleece that I have purchased in 25 years. I am in love! I have not washed it or even carded the tips. I am able to spin directly in the grease.

The staple is averages 5 to 51/2 inches and it is many shades of gray. I am spinning it fairly thin S twist and plan to ply it Z. I think it is going to become socks and mittens.

I learned how to spin when I was 20 years old....thirty years ago. I really got into it during my 20's, but haven't really done much spinning lately. It feels good to try to slow down and just focus on the wool and the spinning.

Back to the wheel!
