Is it just me or is it going to be a long cold and flu season? I have been doing more spinning and knitting than blogging. I have had children sick with the flu. I am also trying to get my shop ready for the First Anniversary and Holiday Open House Sale.
Here is a picture showing my drafting triangle for the lace weight yarn that I have been spinning. The drafting triangle is where the fibers are leaving the roving/rolag and entering the twist zone. For lace weight yarn, the drafting triangle is very small.
Lace weight yarn is typically composed of very fine fibers. This roving is a merino wool/silk blend. Merino fibers are the finest of the wool fibers.
I am almost half way done spinning the singles for this yarn. How is your spin along project going?
