Warping On

Yesterday and today I spun half of my Merino and Tencel blend and it was very different.

• First I spun a full bobbin which took me HOURS and now my back hurts.
• Second I found out a many things when spinning

• The fiber is very slippery so it will draft very fast
• You need to have your hands far apart for it to draft well
• I found it difficult to keep the yarn even (not have big bumps in it) for one of my first spinning projects.
• Once I got the hang of it. Spinning went fast. The trick was keeping my hands far apart.

I have only spun 1 bobbin so I still need to spin another full bobbin and then I will able to ply them together into yarn. I will be using our plying head for the first time which should be fun (YEA . I am also excited because I will be making A LOT of yarn all at once and not end up with many short skeins.
I do not know what I will do with it when I am done but I am Sure I will find a use.

Here is the bobbin #1:
