April Goals
  • finish the mohair, ply and cone up - done! technically I did the cone up today (5/2) but shhh.
  • finish the purple spin - done! now I need to ply it. Also spun 4oz of white clun forest and started a new spin
  • Skein and wash spins, cone up weaving yarns - nope
  • finish the current alpaca fleece processing - yes, done!
  • start processing a new fleece? - worked on a fleece that has been set aside for a while
  • knit sweater - worked on it
  • finish crochet mittens - just the thumb! - done!
  • work on tablet weaving project - no clue if I worked on it, I don't think so
  • get mohair on the loom? might be a stretch - nope
  • Start muslin for vest - ...bought the pattern and printed it
Mohair! Singles on the bobbins.

Seven bobbins of shiny tan mohair singles yarn sitting on a metal mesh table.

And two ply yarn. Measured and on the cone today, so it will be heading to the loom soon. This is for my fleece to garment in a year project

Four bobbins of shiny, plyed yarn resting on a mesh table.

Purple singles that took a very long time. Finished these while I had covid and was bored. I need to ply it now that I emptied all the bobbins.

A bobbin of deep purple, very fine yarn.

This is the Clun Forest spin that went extremely fast. Long draw, extra squashy. I'm just going to do a 2 ply and set it aside for weaving weft. I'm amassing a collection of 4oz amounts of different breeds of coarse wools that someday I will throw on a sturdy warp and make some rugs or something.

A wooden wheel bobbin of squishy, fuzzy white yarn.

No pictures of gloves, they're the same as the pair in this post with less tension to make them a little larger. And no pictures of the alpaca fleece, it's brown and squishy. That will be blanket warp someday.

May crafting goals
  • spin! currently 4oz of Romney on the wheel, maybe I'll do another weaving yarn, high twist for warp? (write about cotton spinning)
  • ply, skein and wash yarns sitting around
  • knit sweater
  • start a crochet project?
  • wash a fleece?
  • process fleece
  • work on tablet weaving project and get it off the warping board
  • Get weaving!
  • muslin of waistcoat - needs to be done before weaving finishes so uhh

I am impressed by your spinning quantity, and the sheer amount of bobbins you have!

Ahhh. Interesting system. I have 5 bobbins and one wheel (that works). I figure that's the ability to do a 3-ply, and a spare.
