I’m not avoiding my 3 spinning and 4 knitting projects!!! I’m not!!!
#I’m just sampling!#honestly!#gotta know how I wanna do my next project.#anyways as much as I enjoy the action of combing fibers#I didn’t like that the Icelandic in particular would separate out tog from them#and I am not spending 100$ on single row combs I would only really want for double fleeces like this#and I do eventually want to experiment with seperated fleeces (just not right now)#I decided I was finally gonna do it#I was finally gonna get reacquainted with my cards#and so far I’m having a decent time!#I think I finally found a technique that works for me#(it’s basically just from Louis Swales’ video ‘how to card like a ghost’)#I’m putting out rolags that umm#ok they don’t look great but they are a decent spinning experience!#and I like how little waste there is#currently in this pic I am spinning some rolags that were rolled off the short end of cards so the fiber is mostly parallel#(been calling them cigar rolags)#and tbh I think I prefer the rolag rolled off the long side#I feel the dual cost fibers mix better#I’m gonna try to spindle spin enough yarn to make a short pair of socks as one of the things I wanted to do was get#a pair of 100% Icelandic wool socks to see how it wears compared to the commercial standard of merino nylon blend#and then I want to spin some Lopi style for a sweater#and if I have any long locks leftover I’ll use that in my current rug project#yarn#handmade#spinning#handspinning#handspun#wool#spindle
