The journey of some Fantom Farm roving:

It was so pretty, I couldn't resist taking it home with me.


Henry agrees. When I started prepping the fiber for spinning, Henry snuck in and had his way with the drafted fiber. (Yes I know I've used this picture before, but it's too good not to brimg it out again. Besides, the cats are at 'camp' (ie: my parent's house) for the next few weeks so there won't be any new pictures of them for a while.)


Here is a spun bobbin of singles.


Once I plied my two bobbins of singles, I realized I had taken a bit of a tight grip on my fiber, and it was very tightly spun. It looked like a big orange afro after I took it off the niddy-moddy.




So back on the swift it goes. I'm going to run it back through the spinning wheel the wrong way to un-twist it a little.


It's still a bit over-twisted. I think I'll give it another run through the un-twister.
