Spinning

I've been taught how to spin properly, now just have to practise.

A lovely lady named Isabel taught me the basics, when I have two bobbins full I am to go back for another lesson on the next step. She sent me to buy some nicer spinning wool from a lady in Strathdownie.

The results so far with the crap wool

Lesley had a shed full of wool. And I mean full!! I chose 2kg of a beautiful fawn coloured fleece, next time I'll get some of the beautiful silvery black stuff. Oh, and I also arranged to buy 6 of her Corriedale/English Leceister sheep - for $20 per sheep. This'll happen in March, when our water situation has been sorted.

The good stuff!
