Now I am actually going to try out some silk. It is coming along okay. A bit thinner, plying will be interesting.
The pics had very little editing. This silk actually has a gleam to it and it is so pretty. Looks like it might actually self stripe.
I am not a writer. I am a spinner and a knitter. I created this blog to document my projects and my progress.

Fast Flyers
Because I am obsessive compulsive I just had to have the fast flyer for my Lendrum spinning wheel. The idea is one can spin lace weight yarn, and fine silk. Well I do have some Camel silk but no way was going to use it as a test run. So I pulled out the good reliable cheap Coredale fiber and went to work. This is what I got. Not as think as I would like and the ply kind of sucked.
