Ready to Fly!
I only managed to spin for 2.5 hours this week but . . . . . I have 2 pounds of wool picked and ready to spin. I stayed up until 2 a.m. last night processing fleece so I could pass the picker on to my spinning buddy today. During week 3, I can concentrate on spinning rather than having to spend time on fiber prep. (Do you think I can spin all of this in one week? No? Me neither. But no harm in trying!)
And . . . . I actually spun some of Grover this week. Isn't it gorgeous? I love all the different shades in this Lincoln/Columbia fleece. (The fiber is a little darker than in this photo - I'll try to take the next picture during the day so I don't have to use the flash.) It will be a while before I'm ready to ply. The Woolee Winder bobbins really pack on the fiber and I'd like to have two full bobbins before I move to the next step. But when I start plying, I should end up with a huge skein.

Holy naked sheep Batman - that's a lot of fleece. I can't wait to see it spun.
You are going to have some Gorgeous grey yarn. I LOVE all the hues of gray in that fleece. It is STUNNING!!
You sure will have a huge skein - a friend of mine uses a Woolee Winder and gets large skeins....they're 600-700 yds. long!
You've done a ton of work to get ready for spinning and that says something as well! Grover is looking great!
