MG: back on the wheel

beautifully prepped Abby Batt

getting to know my Lendrum fast flyer. the singles kept snapping, breaking against the metal edge of the orifice on the bobbin side; so i got out one of the nicest preps i have in my stash to practice. finally catching the rhythm, tension, and pull of the fast flyer. 17:1 is much nicer for finer spinning. i can treadle languidly again.

20-odd grams of singles

kitty: first installment of abby's yarn batt club finished spinning

I finally finished spinning the fiber from my first shipment from Abby's Yarn Batt Club. It really was the nicest fiber I think I have ever spun. I would highly recommend the quality of her fiber combinations. Though I am still not convinced on the sparkly aspect of the yarn. It ended up around 500 yards so hopefully Mia can come up with a good project for it. It definitely is more her colours than mine. Sorry for the dark photos, It has been pouring down rain here since the fiber dried and I wanted to get it shipped off to her today. The colours really are more like the post on Abby's site.
