Well, I'm finally back after a very long hiatus. I won't say that I'm trying to catch up on post as that would be impossible and really not necessary. The goal is to make a post so here it is. Yesterday I pulled out an old stash of Merino wool roving that I have had for quite some time and began to spin a single that I decided to ply-on-the-fly, as the single was thin, and I didn't want to transfer the single to my Kromski double treadle spinning wheel to ply a three-ply yarn. It had been a very long time since I had spun a single and plied the single using the ply-on-the-fly technique. Took me a few minutes to get acclimated again to a much-used technique in the past, but each step of the ply-on-the-fly technique quickly fell into place, and I was on my way to spindle spinning bliss. The decision as to what color I will dye the yarn is still in the think-about stages. I was thinking maybe a solid color and then I thought about color gradients which can be very exciting to create on a blank canvas. Stayed tuned. Salaam.
