I'm counting any wool work as applying to my Tour de Fleece challenge this year. This includes washing fleeces, prepping washed wool, spinning wheel maintenance, sampling...and of course, spinning.
My Jensen wheel was in dire need of a good cleaning and reconditioning. Anytime you need steel wool to remove dust from something... A little elbow grease? Good as new :-). Such a pretty wheel.
Here are some freshly washed Buddy curls ready for the combs.
I love how the Cotswold curls remain even after carding or combing.
A small sample - ready to Andean ply.
40 wraps per inch. Within the range I want (36-40), but I'd like to try for just a tiny bit thinner.
But see how the curls shine through even after spinning? Cotswold is fun :-). Buddy's going to make a beautiful lace project.
