Staycation

We are staying home this weekend. I just want to chill and clean up around here. I have assembled a nice list of things to do around the house. *Hint: New hutch, Cucumbers & New Garden Bed*.

I also would like to go for a nice long bike ride, if the weather permits. The plan is to go to Kengsington Metro Park .I looked at the weather for this weekend. Rain. Come on, work with me. 

I spun up some really nice Polworth. This is my first time and it is really easy to spin. I would like to keep this as a single but I have a feeling that the yarn won't let me

I spun this 4 ounces in record time. I love this yarn. The colorway is Sean of the Dead.I would say it's 100 yards worsted weight 2ply.

On other spinning news, I received my batt from Storied Yarns. The colorway is called " The Sneetches" from Dr. Suss.

It's a Fiber Friday!!

What a great week for spinning.

Last Saturday, I hung out with my girls at Biggby's and spun the rest of the above fiber. I picked this up at the Ann Arbor Fiber Expo last fall. It looks like it ranges between Aran/Worsted weight 2ply. It's super squishy. It's a little scratchy so I think this will become a hat and not the cowl I imagined it would be.

Also, I won $15 from Storied Yarns for the Hunger Games SAL! Wooohoo! I emailed her to see if I could get a custom batt made!

Also did you see this!

This is bad ass! I need one! I also need the cup holder they sell, but they do not have one for a Baynes wheel yet!
