Spinning Yarn

I finished the first skeins on the new Joy sliding hook flyer!  Can you see how much more the bobbins hold! 

I have 457 yards in these two skeins.  This is about 7 ounces of corriedale cross,  spun into fingering weight yarn.

 I still have lots more roving to spin! Yippee!

I had gone to bed last night, forgot something and headed back to the kitchen and found this going on in  my absence.........he reached up and grabbed the leader yarn;

and laid down and moved the treadles........I can't wait to see if there is a pile of spun gold in the morning!    (There wasn't...!)        

I finished knitting the Bronte's Mitts, washed and blocked them. 

Oh, I wish I could describe how soft and silky the alpaca yarn makes these!  Just luxurious!
