Spinning: Laura’s Pygoras Natural-Dyed Local Merino Roving
Watching: Mad Men “The Wheel” + The Daily Show
Notes: Apparently I can only spin fine now. It’s a little irritating. I think I’ll Navajo ply this mess when it’s done. This roving still has a fair amount of lanolin, but it’s older, so it’s kind of sticky. Maybe I’ll hit it with a hair dryer before I spin the next round.
Future: Well, it’s nice and soft, but not a great color for me, so I should probably avoid a hat or cowl, though that’s where it would make the most sense. Or maybe it will ply up into a color I can wear. Or maybe I’ll find something compatible but better on me for a cushy cowl and ply them together. Or maybe I’ll make legwarmers.
Would it work for socks?
I thought of that but worried they’d wear too quickly. I was also thinking valenki liners–then it wouldn’t matter if they felted/pilled.
