Mauch Chunky ROVING


Mauch (pronounced munk) CHUNKY ROVING HERE!!! 20 different colours to spin and NO TIME. There's a funky special colour: grey, eggplant, and light green. Sounds crap, looks so freakin' kewl.

MUST WORK.

No idle spindle

What a relief -- and it's all the alpaca breeder's fault. There it was, alpaca roving, ready to spin. And yes, I just so happened to have my very basic stone spindle I made with a dowel and an aventurine. I was supposed to be knitting, but no, I was at my new stall at the Port Adelaide Market and wheeeeeeeeeee, it just couldn't stay in its bag. And damned fine roving it is.

So I feel better having spun something this weekend. Alas, it was but a tease, as I am back at work knitting something, but for that brief, pleasant hour on Sunday, I was happy spinning yarn. And yes, it is very feral yarn indeed. :-)
