I have an excuse

I have been busy spinning:


And my favorite up close:


spun from this targhee (that came with the wheel) that I dyed:


And just for the record, my first (from a corriedale x that also came with)

Also dyed by moi. I was testing my procion fiber reactive dyes. They seem to work fine by the vinegar soak, set in the oven method.

Everybody, well only dh and dd have seen my singles, feels a need to tell me that some places are thicker and some thinner. That may be true but they seem pretty darn even for a newbie. And I think when plyed (or is it plied, I have a new language to learn), and knit, I think it will even out.

Oh, yeah, Irish Moss, well, there has been progress:


9 grams are left on ball 7.
