Hubby and his Spinning wheel!

Roving from Etsy shop Copperpot. There roving is WONDERFUL and I WILL buy more soon!

this wild berries roving we bought at a LYS in Roberts, WI. Its lovely and Nate has actually started another bobin of it and it making that one even thinner to my request!

Both bobins are full on the first rovings he did on his new wheel which is an ashford.



Here is the second day or so of spinning. After much cussing and calling some friends for HELP he got the hang of it!! Thankfully we have met some great new friends here in WI. He is now really good at it and fast. He troubleshoots better also. I'm very proud and can't wait to knit with this new yarn! I have made requests of how I'd like it spun as to thick or thin or a little of both. I will keep up on the updates hopefully better. I'm really behind and is why there are so many posts today! LOL

Nate's drop Spinning!!

We bought a Drop Spindal at the Harvest Festival and Nate did do well at it but, he really wanted a wheel. It did help him learn how to draft the roving tho. A friend did have a wheel for sale and I did buy it for him. But, here is him with the drop spindal and the lovely yarn he made with it. Sorry for the topless pic of him. Its the only one I got of him actually doing it!

Some Yarns I've bought at discount places

I got this at Dollar Tree in MO on the way to WI. This was at Big Lots in Az I want to make a shawl with it. Its soooo soft!
I bought 10 of this color from Big Lots and it will be a lacy shawl for me.
Bargain Bills in Rice Lake, WI for .99 each!

This was in the sale bin at Osceola's Yarn Parlar LYS and bought 2 of each color for a project in mind. Might go back and grab more if its still there.
