Its been a slow day, some spinning, the white just needed skeining, the brown needed a bobbin spinning then plying. They both need a wash
Just for comparison, the green bobbin is off my nano which you often see in my photos when I'm out and about. There is the the same amount of fibre on each bobbin but the green one holds 50gm and the larger one 200gm.
My editing programme is hiccupping, sorry about the placement of some of the text , I've tried all sorts but it won't behave properly.
The nearly finished object it the sampler. I'm just too tired to count correctly so I'll finish it in the morning.
For anyone who wants to see the box of doom contents, please remember that I buy from charity shops and started to stock up for my retirement stitching a while back. I may sell the tapestries just haven't decided yet as I do have a large bag of the wools as well and may be tempted in the future.
Who am I kidding? I'm never going to stitch all of these but I'll give it a good go. Mostly cross stitch but a few embroidery and blackwork ones in there as well.
Anyway, more tomorrow (Sunday)

A big bobbin is a wonderful thing to have. I hate running out of room especially when plying.
My jaw dropped when I saw your amount of stitching kits. That is a lot. It must be fun visiting them all. My stash is smaller but it's still not in this lifetime achievable.
