Believe it or not I finished spinning all the cotton I grew and had combed. I have a nice little pile of bolls I have to prep for next time. It's 3 ply, not yet boiled. I'm planning to dye this some time in the future.
I acquired some salt dishes and sake cups from my cousin's destash. They make wonderful support spindle bowls!
So of course I had to acquire more spindles. I'm trying to spin up some purchase green cotton roving. I may end up giving the rest of this away as it's a bit of a challenge for me. This is a John Galen Tahkli. It is so pretty in red with hearts.
Finished today for TDF day 20 is the Violet Vixen by Yarnshine Fiber Arts. It was a 2.5 oz batt purple on one end and white on the other, Polwarth/merino/bamboo mix.
We are currently having a Tropical Storm watch. Hopefully I won't lose any more pieces of my fence. I've enjoyed all the spinning. I don't have anything planned for the last day. Perhaps it's a good day to clean up the sewing machine room. I was sad the cute Vintage machine found at my aunt's house was pronounced dead by the sewing machine man. It was a flower power machine made by JC Penneys called a Swing and Sew.
Happy Spinning!
