Batts!

Merino, Corriedale and Bond

Maybe it is the (finally) beginning of Spring but whatever the reason, I've been spinning a whole lot of stuff. The Merino is going to be a 2 ply and I'm spinning it on my Sabrina. The Sabrina is new to me and what a wheel........more on that to come.

What's spinning....

Jacob fleece is my current project. I just adore this fiber. Here is a picture of some of the yarn that I have spun; this is from the ram named Hector.

Here is some lilac colored lamb fleece before washing:

And the clean fleece, batts and yarn after washing. This lilac was a remnant from a bigger fleece that felted on the sheep. I only have a little bit (and that thanks to the kind shepherd). It is spinning into the most lovely silver color.

The white batts are more of Hector's fiber and here is some more yarn from his fleece:
