Spinning in October

You know spinning in the colder months is so comforting. Why is that? This has been my latest projects in spinning. Finished up another 4 ozs of the natural black wool.....there is something to be said about variety.

Then my dear Sister Bonnie sent me her Stitches of the Mid West purchases. Here is 1 oz of cashmere. My first experience with cashmere and it was different and I could not get it as fine as I would have liked. As a single ply it averaged 20 wpi, but as a 2 ply it is more like 12 wpi. Very pretty stuff though, soft....soft....soft.



Next is some fiber she purchased from Changing Threads & Yarn, called "Dark Winter Nights"......ooooou.....pretty color. This colorway was made by Sitka, of Raven Frog Fiber Arts. Great Job! This is spinning up really fine, gotta love those longer fibers. It will make a lovely navajo 3 ply, which is what I plan to do
