Unloved...

I have this superwash merino discards blobs from a mill, It was unloved.
I used the carder and made bats trying to save this fiber.
The spinning wheel been singing.
The fibers were really short and it is imperfect, still it is 100% wool.

I have decided to make it Navajo 3 plies as it is superwash to avoid pilling.
Of course I did over spin it a bit too so it could be use as warp or knitting/crochet.
Not bad for a rescue and unloved fiber. 
I still have another skein to ply and finish set twist/wash.

Fun under the sun...

I have been spinning  all summer.  Since last spring my right arm has been in pain so no knitting for me :(  I only been spinning merino giving a rest and some time to heal to that injured arm.
 Now I have lots of merino 
2 pounds of dark brown, 1 pound of golden and 1 pound of powder blue.  This was from the fibers I posted on this blog earlier, it's all washed and whacked then dried outside, now it's all waiting for some needles or crochets.
