Once I finish with my undyed combed top I'm going to spin up some gorgeous colours. I've ordered a variety of colours, stepping away from my usual watery blues, greens and grays into some fun summer garden colours. They're all purchased from indie dyers on etsy. I have no idea how long it'll take me to spin all this gorgeous fiber, but I'm definitely seeing a disadvantage at only having 4 bobbins. There's going to have to be plenty of plying happening soon...
There's been a little knitting too. When I get around to knitting with handspun will be a hoot I'm sure. Have a great day everyone!

your spinning is LOVELY. and i am drooling over all those colors/fibers. can't wait to see what they turn into!
You first attempt is way better than mine!! Keep at it, it gets better :)
Love the beautiful fibres
Great fiber colors! Can't wait to see how they spin up. I found that when I moved onto my 'special' fibers that my spinning improved if for nothing else than I was more careful. I'm sure they'll turn out beautiful no matter what. Colors like that are hard to mess up.
I hear ya on the 4 bobbins. I usually wound my singles into balls and plied from both ends, which freed up my bobbins quickly. But a couple of months ago I broke down and bought more. It's an investment right? ;)
Wow! Looks like you're off to a great start, and like you've got enough fiber to keep you busy for a while! have fun!
How exciting! Can't wait to see what you knit up after you finish spinning all that beautiful fiber.
THOSE are so beautiful...makes me wish desperately that I could knit!
oh those colors! I can't even think about spinning, but when i see the colors.... Can't wait to see how the whole batch turns out!

so amazing...i didn't know you could get fiber by the big roll like that. true eyecandy!
Looking so good! I admire that you are just willing to try it. Just like that. Good for you. I'd be terrified.
