Spin,Spun, Done







This was such a nice project to do. I just completed my first spinning commision. This is a horsehair/wool blend. The pictures do not do justice to the color, it was more a warm cappaccino color. I spun a fine thread and then plied it with another. The result was a nice, fluffy looking two ply that is just a pleasure to look at. I am using an Ashford traveller, double treadle wheel, it works great for me, I would like to Buy a larger flyer and bigger spools. One day, one day!!!
