Spinning Around

Took some time out to play with my spinning wheel.

 Such a nice break from all the gardening.

Spinning.................

Mother is here visiting with me for a week or so and our days have been busy with shopping and having long talks about Spring and gardening.

In the evenings it's been quiet as Mother reads and I spin wool.

 I think I'm starting to get the hang of it.

Still working on a perfect balance though.

 Crocheted some baskets too.

 And some plant hangers as well.

Spinning Fabric

Thought I'd try spinning some fabric strips today. 

 A reclaimed cotton gauze skirt torn into strips.

 

 Spun together with some blue wool.

 Another in purples.

Made some pretty interesting yarn.
