batts!

This batt is representative of what I'm playing with now in handspun. The dark brown is from our little wether Blackberry. I'm adding touches of dyed Leicester Longwool from our girls and dyed cultivated silk.

Finished yarn —

spinning

I'm making my way through this massive bag of bluefaced leicester roving. It's two pounds — doesn't sound like much, does it? That translates to days and days of spinning though, for a 2-ply yarn. I have 8 skeins done, with probably another 4 to go. The Apple Butter Festival is coming up this weekend, and I want to get as much handspun ready for that as possible.
