Well, nothing like getting off to a flying start!

Not great photos, I am sorry.
This was a very enjoyable spin. This Rainbow Romney ball from Kathy’s Fibres was already carded, pre-drafted and spun right off the ball. I did, however, overspin it by a fair bit. It’s hard not to. It’s a very different fibre than I am used to – a longer staple, and quite bristly. Definitely outer-wear wool! I picked this up at the Bendigo Show last year.
The over-spun issue was quickly solved by running the singles back thru the wheel, and I have left it un-plied. The colours would be too muddy otherwise. It’s a light fingering weight.
