My World Has Been Rocked!

Filed under: spinning — mamae @ 9:51 am

While spinning at Cloverhill last night… Amie, spin diva extraordinaire, showed me how to double lace my flyer and get a REALLY thin single.

Umm… not a parlor trick folks! I am so amazed at how you get a really thin single with half the work of what I was doing before. I *embarrassingly* made noises that I think are not meant for the public and drooled from the mouth after I spun this way for a while. Umm… did I mention that I was in a group?

Still amazed folks.

Here is the 4oz of Platinum in a single. I think I may need to dye some more  to make another bobbin of singles to ply it with.

Happy Saturday folks!
