Fiber: September 2006 Archives
Roll music from the beginning of 2001, a Space Odyssey ... i.e. Also Sprach Zarathustra
This, friends, is the sum of all my recent spinning. One full bobbin of moorit CVM -- probably somewhere between 4 and 5 ounces. It feels like a towering accomplishment. This is my first WooLee Winder bobbin that I have filled completely.
And then I go back and look at what's left.
Sigh. Even after about 6 ounces (I've gotten a good start on the second bobbin now) it doesn't look much different than it did after I first got it. It keeps staring at me, just daring me to imagine how much yarn I can get from 2 lbs of roving.
Queue theme from Chariots of Fire... I've got a long race ahead of me.

P.S. Did you see all the cool things in the first issue of Yarnival!? I'm looking forward to really digging through it with my morning latte tomorrow!
