FIBER!!!

No, not eating it......spinning it!  I am finally getting around to spinning the Leah's first shearing.  Since Rachel and Leah (we did not name them) are going to have to get their hairs cut soon, I thought (well, darling hubby thought) I had better get stuck in to doing something with the first batch!  I washed a bunch of Leah (the white) and have been carding it and spinning it.  I can't wait until I have a full skein!

Some of the locks are 10" long!

All picked and ready to card.....just like a cloud!

Almost a whole spool.

My Baines upright spinning wheel from New Zealand.

The poor wool is full of vegetation.  I may have to give up and take it to Arizona Fiber Mill for cleaning.  It is spinning up real nice and fine, though!
