The Knittabhavana

A blog about knitting, mostly.

Here's the latest carded fibre: mostly Jacob and Portland fleece: the pinks have some BFL and bamboo mixed in, all hand dyed. Thanks to Corrinne for lending me her drum carder, so now I can look forward to sitting back and spinning it all... I think there's a kilo and a half there. Socklady Lynne gave me a tip on how to make my Louet wheel less grabby, which is to zig zag the spun across the flyer guides. Thanks to this technique I've now been able to spin very finely yarn which needs lots of twist but not so much tension, and it's effectively made the Wee Peggy redundant. So, maybe try and sell her soon. We're thinking of downsizing. Gary's talking about buying a boat...
