What's on my drop spindle

Here's what's in the process of being spun on my Golding drop spindle. This is 2/3 shetland wool and 1/3 merino from Sporfarm in The Dalles, OR. It's a dream to spin! And no, I did not buy this fiber at BSG (Black Sheep Gathering) - it was in the stash from a purchase 2 years ago at OFFF (Oregon Flock & Fiber Festival).

  2. I'm not sure what this roving will grow up to be yet - it's kind of a teal/grey mix......I also have another bag of a lighter shade of this same roving that I'll spin next.

  3. Ohhh, I bought some beautiful Shetland blends from them last year at BSG. Such a joy to spin. Nice to see it on a spindle, and a Golding none the less!
