Not literally of course……too cold and wet to spin. I wanted to do some spinning this week. As opposed to all the knitting last week. SOoooooooo… onto the pics.

Or how about a silk blank plied with wool and then andean plied back upon itself. I couldn’t believe the amount of yarn I got from a little 1.75 oz silk blank!!!!
I decided to make my own silk blank jewelry with what was left on the bobbin. I spun the fiber andean style many times until it was the length I wanted. Then I took some jewelry cord and a couple wooden beads, with a darning needle secured the ends and added the beads to the bracelet….. I have to say I really like it!!!!
I guess this what a girl does when her plans ( as well as the kids school) have been cancelled by an ice storm. The beauty of it was breathtakingly worth it!!!!
This was my view out the back of my house ….amazing.
