My roving came back from Stonehenge the other day! I sent in 2 different ones a pure white mohair and the yummiest blend I have spun yet. Its a soft pink merino, alpaca, and angora. I am not sure how much of each I had some pink alpaca and some white merino and thought I would just throw it together and send it when I sent the mohair out. Then I spotted a couple bags of angora on top of the fiber stash so I threw it in to, and man is it yummy! I was going to start on my English wool form Candy after I finished the Giant wool but once I seen this blend I just could not wait to spin it, so on the wheel it went last night. Its so easy and lovely to spin like a pink little cloud. I am spinning it kinda thin so I am not sure what I will do with it, and I am thinking of doing a 3 ply yarn with it also. I only have 3 bobbins and would need 4 for a 3 ply, but when I used my drop spindle I would wind off on an empty pop bottle and use them as bobbins so I could do that again. We'll just have to wait and see what comes of that idea though.
I am still waiting on Misty to have babies she was due Wednesday but nothing yet. There are babies in there I just don't want to wait any longer for them get out! Nothing like a box full of cuties.
God Bless
