Finished the warp, spread it, realize I warped 20 instead of 10 somewhere, unravel that, beamed it up while compensating for uneven tension, finally started threading. GAH.
"But it looked so easy in the video!" Yeah, the lady in the video has probably done it 100 times
Starting to see the finish line on the BFL. No winding for a change.
More BFL, what else? And some more winding again.
Finished and rewound the silk - had to leave som behind, will chain-ply it separately maybe. And started the BFL.
More silk. More winding.
Day 3 and more silk. Also re-skeined the Polwarth and wound more thread.
Tour de Fleece day 2, and wound more thread.
Wound the variegateds and the Coloris, filling one box.
Finished combing the BFL.
Skeined and washed the Polwarth yarn (tentative name: Alicorn Barf).
Predrafted and started spinning one of the silk gradients.
