Spring Spin Spun

I've finished my spring spinning sample, first attempt at spinning to a theme and adding texture. It has now been washed and stretched.

I also finished the goat angora ( spun at the bike camp) and Leicester curly bits ( lightly carded)

and played with wool nepps

very short piece, very time consuming!

This has been keeping me sane as we now have a new pump on the heating system and a new radiator but the boiler is now refusing to work. I'm getting a little p*****d off with this and I suspect when the insurance people come in to decorate they will find more problems requiring more money!!!

    Oooooh that green blend is lovely! Just think-if you start spinning now you could have enough to make a sweater by..autumn?
    I so hope your heating system is fixed soon-it has been a long time out of action in a cold month.
