Spinning in the green

Getting organized and planning going on here. I am also hoping to arrange a bit more time to post so you'll hear from me more often. (yes, once a month would be more often. Sorry)

Here is what I just finished working on! it is not even listed for sale yet, but boy was it fun to work on!

 Fibers are all articulated and ready to go.

 Spinning is going. This shot is about halfway through the project.

Done. Two skeins of Navajo plyed yarn. The green is brighter in person than in my kitchen, we could use some sun here, maybe spinning such a bright green will bring it out. The teal is for a knitting project. This is the first time I have spun up Targhee wool, but it will not be the last! It is soft and fluffy like merino, full of air and spins up great! At the Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival I bought two sheep's worth to support a junior farmer. I am so happy that I love working with it as much as I hoped. I bought this green already dyed from a very nice farmer who told me quite a bit about the breed and suggested I check out the birthing area as he was sure there were a few over there.

This momma gave birth at the festival three years running, this year to twins!

If the weather warms up (yesterday's high was 0) I will post about cleaning the wool later this week.
