handcarded rolags
Anxious, last nite I handcarded the first month's fiber club shipment from Black Bunny Fibers (90 delaine merino/10 kid mohair) into this GIANT pyramid of rolags*. There's only 8 oz of fiber, and it takes up so much more space than when it did as a roving...
(Handcards? I bought a fleece. A little one!)
Off to have a good day, you do the same :)
*the rolags are rolled widthwise, easier to throw in the paper grocery bags. i'll open them up and roll lengthwise like the one in the front of the pic when i get going...
ORANGE!
ReplyDeleteThose look great - squishy and airy and I love the color!!
ReplyDeleteAre you rocking a carding callous now?
ReplyDeletethese look sooooo yummy!!!
ReplyDeletecan't wait to see how they spin up...like little orange/tangerine/clementine marshmallows! :o)ek.
You have long Rolags. I read in Shannon Oakey's book that you can spin them like that, but my Mom showed me the other way. (I'm still very much a beginner with a drop spindle.)
ReplyDeletepart of my brain thought COOL they look like marshmallows...then I think it again and I imagine putting those in my mouth and now my mouth and teeth feel funny LOL!!! thats such a cool picture, its a very pretty, subtle colour
ReplyDeleteLove the BBF...almost like freshly made doughnuts.
ReplyDeleteThey're so poofy and pretty looking! I can't wait to see the yarn :)
ReplyDeletelike a big orange fluffy cloud....ahhhh...
ReplyDeleteTribbles!
ReplyDeleteSo fluffy!
ReplyDeleteI have both those wheels as well. When My Schacht came along I went crazy with spinning for quite a while. My poor little Joy is starting to get a little dusty;)
