August 13

It was quiet here yesterday because we went to Albuquerque to the Stock Bldg Supply to get lumber for upcoming woodworking projects. New spindles, wheels, distaves and niddy noddys can now be made. Just as soon as Jim get his stitches out from where he tried to cut his left index finger off with the table saw. Fortunately he was not successful.


I took advantage of the portability of the Turkish spindle and did my one ounce on the trip. A pink that will be paired with a purple for a girly two ply. The purple is today's spinning.

It has been raining a lot around here. I hardly know what to think about it. Woke up to it this morning. A mystery and cup of tea kind of day, but there is actually a warp on the loom and work to be done.

 This warp is kona fingering superwash dyed in the Fairy Blue colorway. The weft will be mohair boucle in the same colors.
