E-Spinning along

Planning a new knitted mat so spinning from a stored medium-weight, medium staple length fleece. I sheared ti from one of my woolly ewes some years ago and washed and kept it 'til now.
I plan to spin most of this fleece aran weight on the e-spinner and then dye it in progressively longer lengths of different colours to knit into an oval shape.

The dying will be the most fun but right now it's just comb/spin/ply repeat.

So far, 327 grams spun and plied


Combs and nests



Plying n the E-Spinner - adding another 320 gas of plied aran-weight.



Meanwhile, leaving one's car door open can invite cheeky occupants (and may bring her toy with her):
