What's Cooking? 





Why, it's some roving!! This summer at the El Cerrito city wide garage sale i picked up a crock pot for $1 in anticipation of using it for a dye pot - and today was the day! I was so sick at looking at sheep-colored yarn, so this weekend i picked up some gray, brown and black dyes. Before i put this roving in, I dyed some yarn that i had spun

Man, I really like it. I am interested to compare the dyed yarn with yarn made from dyed roving.

I also kool-aid dyed some of the first "yarn" that I made, and i think i might make a hat out of it.



I also tried to Navajo-ply after watching a little video on the Joy of Hand Spinning webpage. It kinda worked. It was certainly fun. This is what turned out:




Tomorrow is my last night at spinning class... how will i spin after that?? why with my new Lendrum spinning wheel!



I got it yesterday at Carolina Homespun. That is a really great place, and i am so happy that they had this wheel in stock. It certainly has everything that a knitter and a spinner could want. Gen, Cheryl and I went, and we each left with a wheel and a ton of beautiful fibers. So far it works like a dream. I got the jumbo-ply head, but i haven't yet tried it.
