I couldn't wait to sample a bit of the newly carded wool by using my favorite drop spindle. Since it had been a few years since I used the spindle, a lot of dropping occurred but soon enough I had it spinning and not slipping from my fingers!
The Cotswold wool is spinning up beautifully!
I think I want to try and make a spindle whorl on the lathe.
The last row of weaving has taken place; the shuttle won't get through any more so I stitched the last rows together so cutting can take place and today I will be hemming and then washing the towels!
I don't spin (and do NOT need another hobby!!). I like your towel.
ReplyDeleteI could never seem to master the drop spindle. Yours looks wonderful and the wool looks like a puffy cloud.
ReplyDeleteThe towel also looks great. You are definitely the master of many crafts.

That’s the fleece you were washing when I was there, right? -M
ReplyDeleteSuch fibery goodness going on!!! Love it all.
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me that I need to dust off my spindle projects before the Tour starts. Your towel is beautiful! My poor loom is gathering dust thanks to all this renovation stuff going on.
