My little #spinning update

Corriedale from @ixchelbunny.bsky.social
And bought an old Ashford Traditional and a new Ashford Traveller. A big commitment level up.

Well, life certainly has a way of getting its busy on sometimes. Good to be back here seeing what everyone has been up to in my absence.
Also, sharing what I've made in the meantime.

Spins 11 and 12 of my #learningtospin journey gave me Over 400m of 2 ply from 200g using merino roving
It feels as soft as the colours

I'm spinning corriedale next, possibly for the colourwork in a spun flora sweater

Vintersky (a paid pattern on Ravelry), caught my eye on my insta feed, and it's a lovely light and airy lace pattern for floofy fibre
I grabbed this geranium red mohair out of my stash, a perfect match.

Number 9 in my #learningtospin journey was more merino roving, and the last 100g from Natural Fibre Arts.
This is the spin where I have begun to feel a relationship with my wheel

Quite lovely but short lived, the fragrance improves as the flower fades.

Spin 6 on my #learningtospin journey was the third and last 100g of corriedale, where I began to feel like I was becoming friends with my wheel. I plied the remnants od spins 5 and 6 together at the end to free a bobbin.

Thank you ๐Ÿ˜Š ๐Ÿฅฐ ๐Ÿฉท it is the recommended best fibre for beginners, less silky than merino and longer staple.
That said, as a beginner, I found it very easy to spin and it flew onto the bobbin.
I definitely recommend it, and it helped me move on to improve my merino spinning.
