I made a whole bobbin of yarn on my spinning wheel. I finally got it off and here's a picture. There's some definite variation but that roving is actually kinda hard to work with for some reason. I can't figure it out but it's my test roving for everything. If I learn to spin on it, then moving to other types is easier. I have no idea what it is, I constantly lose what things are. I counted out the turns on the niddy noddy and then calculated it out, and it may or may not be about 270 yards, which is a good amount. I'm not plying anything because that's a pain in the butt and I don't want to.



The next one I'm working on my wheel is this darker yarn. It is easier to do a long draw with and I'm getting much more consistency with it, even if not fully consistent. It's very nice to work with.



This is my secret project that I'm excited about. I'm spinning yarn that I got from Llady Llama at the sheep and wool festival and I'm going to crochet it into a hat and scarf set for Jade for Christmas. It's going pretty well and I'm 2/3 done spinning with a full half on the niddly noddy and set. The colors reminded me of her and it also matches the persona 5 colors, which she's been playing a lot lately. She also came home early tonight while I was working on it, so I did some very unsubtle stuffing of it under my arm.



This is my using-yarn-up crochet blanket. I've got a lot of purple, white and grey so that's what I'm doing.
