Short but sweet. I finished spinning up the 4-ounce braid of Sunset Fibers Polwarth in Berry Crumble.
Two bobbins of Berry Crumble are resting before plying.
And I started spinning the first of two 4-ounce braids of Sunset Fibers Polwarth in Pink Elephant.

I’m spinning this very, very thin using the smallest groove on the Lendrum fast flyer. The more I used the Lendrum, the more I love it. Of course, I feel the same way about my Ladybug. 🙂
One more thing and I’ll shut up. I practiced chain-plying today using the left-over singles from the blue Merino and the Lendrum lazy kate. It went very well. My suspicion that the tension on the Ladybug on-board kate is why I was having such a hard time with chain-plying has proven well-founded. I’m so happy!
Beautiful spinning! Berry Crumble is such a pretty mix of colors. I’m looking forward to seeing it plied.
Thanks, Janet. I have a feeling this colorway is going to look gorgeous as a 2-ply.
Q – Oh my, I can’t keep resisting your fabulous fibers. I’m trying really hard to leave my wallet closed! Beautiful fibers and a brilliant spinner!
Thank you. I never cease to be amazed by the talent of the indie dyers out there. I have no eye for color whatsoever, and I am in awe of their ability to put colors together in ways that produce the most pleasing results. And I have to be honest, I surprise myself with how nicely my yarn often turns out. I look through my stash of handspun sometimes and I say to myself, OMG! I can’t believe I made that!
