Perhaps diving straight back into 4 ply was a little extreme, but that was the luck of the draw.. literally!

Actually her full title is Sixty Buck Bangin’ Bendigo Bessie.

Bessie

We met a few weeks ago now, when the lovely Tara brought her down to Melbourne on a road trip. It was decided that Bessie would come to my house for a visit.. to fulfil my spinning urges, and to see how we got along.

Well. We got along well. Very well. And it was decided that she would make this her home…

In bloom

100gm of EGMTK Merino/Soy blend, In Bloom. It’s not perfect, because 1) I cant feel my hands, therefore making controlling the twist a little tricky, and 2) because I am a n00b and plied it the wrong way before rescuing it.

It’s so so so good to be spinning again. Alas, I have no fibre stash, so will have to do some shopping when my favourite indie dyers do updates..
