Finished combing my columbia wool

I finally finished combing all my columbia wool. I bought last winter. I had fun combing this wool. I really like the way wool come out from combing. I am combing shetland wool. I do not have too much shetland, so it shouldn't take too long.

I just add some tension to my lazy-kate. Look at the right lower conner. I just screw a hood, some fishing line, a small rubber band. Dala, it is tensionize lazy kate. It work so much better when I ply my yarn. The plying twist is lot more even and i no longer have to struggle with tangle up yarn.  Posted by Hello

These are my new projects. The one on the left was the one I talk about not having enough yarn. The one on the right is the new yarn I am making it with. I think this is going to be great spring, summer scarf. I am planning to take the one on the left apart, since I do not have enough yarn to make the scarf  Posted by Hello

This is my new wheel whick I won from ebay. It is made in Germany. It is quiet primitive. I hasn't descide if I really like it or not. The bobbin are so big, I think it will be great for plying.  Posted by Hello

My plan for my 15lb Rommey wool

I order some (15lb) of raw Rommey fleece few weeks ago. It came in a large bag. Since I wash my fleece in my washer, I usually do not mind to wash my own fleece. However, I made up my mind to process as much fleece as I can in the next few month, I have been thinking how to use my time more efficiently. Then I remember a while back I read a article about a girl was giving a very very dirty fleece. She thought to herself--It will take me forever to clean this fleece--so she decide to give up that fleece. She left it on the fence of her yard. Few months later, she realize rain has clean that dirty fleece, and the fleece was wonderful. So here is my plan. I am going to leave my fleece in some kind of container with lots of holes in it, then leave it outdoor when the spring comes. I will take them out and bring them in to wash with soap at the end of spring. I think it is a brilliant ideal. What do you think?

I just start a new scarf project. A while back I saw Jennifer Anderson wear this nice scarf in one of her movies. Then I saw a very simmiler pattern in Michelle's pattern calander. Now it is on my circular needle. I use a very shiny hot pink cotton yarn. I like the way it comes out. I am now praying that I will have enough yarn to make it to a nice length. I will post a picture of it latter on. ( I finally figure out how to add pictures in my blog. Heeheehee)

I am trying to

Hi, Girls: I am trying very hard in my mind(LOL) to do this blog thing, but I hasn't even get my dig camera out, yet. I promiss I will be better after this Feb overtime thing. I am not taking any over time from work, except for my friend--Tianna, and sick calls.

I spent last Sunday at my friend's, Charice, house. It was wonderful. Me, Michelle, and Charice spent so much time on looking thro all the goodies that we didn't spend much time on spinning at all. Charice has such a collection on different wools. I was so happy to touch all these wool that I only hear the name before. After visiting Charice, I decide to buy a pair of wool comb. Maggie show me once how the comb, but I hasn't even starting spinning yet. Now I see what kind of wonderful job these little comb can do, I just have to get one pair.

It was rainning all day, so I spent most of time spinning and sleeping. Lukas(my 2.5 year-old) and I both are sick. It was nice to be able to take 3 hour nap. I spun 1.5 bobbins of domastic wool roving I got before New Year. It came out quiet nice. It is much softer than I thought. I think I am going to spin lots of this wool, then dye them. Of course, there must be blue--my favorite color, then some pink, and some green. I like yellow and orange, but I hardly wear them. Who knows???? We see how I feel on the day that I want to dye those wool.

I promiss I will dig out my dig camera in the next few days, so I can start post pictures.
