Good news! This past Friday, my spinning wheel arrived. I chose the Kromski Sonata (it’s portable) in walnut. The first day, I really didn’t spin a lot. I focused on treadling exercises that I learned from my Craftsy class and just getting comfortable with the spinning wheel. It was my first time spinning.
I love the way this newly spun yarn looks. It reminds me of my dreadlocks! 😍
Yesterday I spun what you see above. It was frustrating (but fun) and my tension was all over the place, but I didn’t care. I was spinning! Woohoo!!!
I stayed away from the wheel most of today. Why? I’m attempting to suppress a sore throat… which meant a lot of rest throughout the day. I disliked that! I’m an active person. Also, I hung out with my daughter. I chatted with the BF on the phone. There was no way we were seeing each other today since I wasn’t feeling the greatest. He DID want to do see me today. We haven’t seen each other since last Sunday and it’s Valentines Day, but he understood that I needed to get better. Because of all that, I only started spinning about two hours ago. Today, I spun some of the natural wool roving that arrived in the mail on Saturday. My tension and uniform appearance of my yarn leaves a lot to be desired. 😝😱😂 However, that will improve… in time!
Tomorrow is President’s Day, and… they are calling for snow. My daughter is out of school. I plan to hang out with her and of course practice spinning and hopefully I’ll get a chance to post and write about my Woolee Winder! It replaces the ‘standard’ spinning wheel flyer. I’m in love. It was well worth the $225 that I paid.
