>>Layl in SE Arizona where it has been drizzling rain
and cold for most of the week. <<
Define cold, asks Robin, who lived in SE Arizona for
21 years, but who has been in Swampeast MO for an
amazing 22 years.
And, just to keep things fibrous, I learned to spin on
nameless wool roving sold to me by Spin 'n' Weave in
Tucson, where I bought my first wheel, a Wee Peggy.
But having learned I then spun several gorgeous Border
Leicester fleeces husbanded by a local farmer/spinner
before moving on to a $5 jacob fleece, which was an
interesting experience and ultimately yielded my
medieval Liberty Bell tunic--very warm but leaves my
arms free. When I wear it I feel like a cast member
of Monty Python & the Holy Grail. Subsequently
started on Merino, Icelandic, and Polwarth (my
all-time favorite)and other wools. I don't have time
for a lot of spinning these days, but I still do a
fair amount with merino that I blend with silk and/or
mohair. Angora was hard for me, but blended w/ merino
it spun like a dream. The only thing I have
absolutely hated was dog fur, which I would never do
again, though I realize I didn't work w/ a very good
quality fur.
