It's Fiber Friday! And I'm invited.
Here it is...my first Fiber Friday! Complete with photos of my first completed yarn on the Fricke.
That's the corriedale pencil roving I posted earlier, in its completed state. I ended up with two skeins--no idea on the yardage, guessing it's bulky weight. Yeah, I'm real scientific with my spinning so far!
It's not perfect, but it's exactly what I wanted. The pencil roving was a great choice for a wheel noob like me--minimal drafting meant I could pay more attention to what the wheel was doing, how adjustments affected the results, etc. So what's on the bobbin now?
BFL from Sweet Georgia, in Afterglow. Here is what it looks like spun and plied on my spindle, but I think I will keep the wheelspun in singles form, to maximize the yardage.
And I can't neglect to show a couple of pictures of my spindle-spun merino tussah--I just completed a shawlette with this, and will post some photos when I get a chance. This is an extra skein that I'm keeping for sentimental reasons. :)
It's Ashland Bay MT 50/50, in Sea Mist. The stuff was heaven to spin.
That's all from me, folks! Can't wait to see everyone else's Fiber Friday posts. :)

Wow! You disappear for six months, then you're back, and you're a spinner to boot?
Remember those emails you sent? "Spinning is something I'll never be interested in", etc, etc? :-)
Your stuff is fabulous! It makes me miss my stored away spinning wheel. More, more!
