Well yesterday I recieved a receipt telling me that I've spent a large sum of money on a spinning wheel... but... no wheel.
I haven't done any spinning for several days, I figure if my wheel is so close I might as well wait for it. I only have one bobbin on this wheel so I'm limited to plying off a ball, which is really difficult to keep tension and anything more than a two ply is virtually impossible. So everything I've done gets Navajo plied, and I'd really like to do some 3 ply with the next stuff.
This is the latest stuff I've spun. The colors in the roving were really pretty, and it was especially interesting to watch how it spun up. In the roving each color stands alone, but once spun it makes a much more uniform color, you can still pick out some of the individual colors, but overall the skein is sort of a dark periwinkle with some flecks of pink...
