The Child is back home. By child I mean a time consuming, constant and most welcome disturbance in the home. Two of them are actually mine, and as I have two homes, well......
The small and beautyful upright belongs to Charlotte.
Immediately after having collected it from Karen (not IN the car, I mean) but when we arrived in Janes garden, I spun this:
122g of the softest Spelsau lambswool. My mum cleaned, carded and gave it a first light wash, and it practically spun itself. I will be keeping my mums wheel (back left) in Copenhagen, it is just a tad better than my own (the front wheel) which will be placed at Bornholm.
At Janes birthday we also explored our abilities (stretched them, more likely) into dyeing yarn.
I do not have the final result of my yarn, yet, as it has not been washed. But until then, the colors look fine!
I call this colorway: old rhubarb.
By the way, it is cotton flamé.....done in a microwave oven with vinegar and silk dye. I am SO heading for a fiasco - and we had SO much fun.

Answer: It isn't if you're constantly in need of insulation!
