Polwarth & Sari Silk

We are just over half way through the month and I must admit that I am barely keeping up with the ounce a day on the Turkish spindle. These are great tools and are wonderful for taking places to spin that it would be impractical to take a spinning wheel along. The down side is that if you are trying to get other things done that require large amounts of time, spending 2.5 hours per day spinning in this way is just not as productive as other methods.




This is Organic Polwarth from the Falkland Islands mixed with Sari Silk waste. A nice color combination.

 It is slightly finer than the other skeins I've been doing and came out to 98 yards and weighs 2 ounces. 

We will continue to sell the skeins for SNAP through the end of September. There are several other local spinners who are contributing yarns for this donation drive. 

Have a great weekend!
