spinning...spinning..spinning
Today I am spinning silk....mmm...it must be a silk day, hello yarn is spinning silk too....
the small image is the silk roving and the larger picture is the same roving spun...apx. 34 w.p.i. I can't wait to have a whole bobbin worth to play with:)
"The key to successful spinning of silk is to relax and think of it as just another fiber. If it trys to pull rank on you, don't back down- remind it that for all its fame, beauty and brillance, it is only caterpillar spit." quote from silkworker the site where I got this beauty.
Today I had a lovely walk with Margot and miss Boo and the dogs. We were gone for nearly an hour and one half and it felt so good to be out in the fresh air....mmmmm.....
So now I going to nap...and then tonight-silk, silk, and more silk...yeah!
