TDF day six, spinning, plying and graffiti spotting

 


Four bobbins of very dark Jacob, I bought this fleece back from the Isle of Skye in 2019 but I've only just got round to spinning it.

Plyed the first and third bobbin and realised that this time I had got it right with the weights, how's



this for a finish? the yarn you can see on both bobbins is the leader. So I plyed the other two.


that bit of yarn is less than a yard in length. Feeling rather chuffed , I popped the skeins onto the scales, they both weight 116gm !! I'll check the yardage once they have been washed.


Anyway, I went shopping, took my camera with me and had a quick wander round the edge of town looking at the graffiti panels in Hockley and Sneinton Market area.





There is definitely some talent out there.




My plan now is to try and find something to photo each time I go shopping :-)

If its fine tomorrow I may wash some fleece and I'm planning to spin some Shetland :-)

It is a great feeling when you get the weight rights which I rarely do. I usually have so much left on one bobbin I have to make a plying ball to finish up so I don't waste it.
That graffiti is just brilliant. What vivid colors. Talent is right. I am in awe.
