So the sheeps wool i was washing and carding a few days ago is on Starling (my wheel) Its actually a lot softer then i anticipated. Im enjoying the spin. Im kinda not trying to make it perfect and letting it spin with some of its neps and cottonballs. Im going to ply it back on itself and after i finish the wool im going to do the alpaca too. Trying to spin through my stash and justify spending 40 bucks on 8 oz of colored wool… I could buy a lb for under 30… But then i have to go buy dyes and pots too. So im like arrggghhh. I have to start over on THIS TOO!!

Or i just spend a lot of time spinning the natural fibers i was gifted and work on some natural colors too.
Man, i gotta start listing things in my etsy again and hope i can sell a few items. I cant hang onto all of this stash too lol! I love people to enjoy using them too.

for now. here is a photo of my very dirty wheel. The sheeps wool has a bunch of veggie matter ( like little specks of dirt and hay ) most fall out when spin :) But Starling is taking a dirty beating haha. Something is getting a blow out with the buns tomorrow!
