There’s no turning back.  I’m officially and hopelessly addicted to spinning.

I spent part of this afternoon spinning 4 ounces of BFL and another 4 ounces of corriedale.  The darker colored singles in the picture are hand-painted black BFL by Gale’s Art.  The name of the color is “Rose Garden”.  The lighter, brighter-colored singles are Sakina Needles corriedale in a color called “Bad Robot”.  I’m letting these singles rest on the bobbins overnight and I’m hoping I can ply them tomorrow and see how they look.

I still have another 16 ounces of corriedale and 8 ounces of BFL from Sakina Needles to spin.  I can’t wait!

AND… I was able to join CJ Kopec Creations‘ fiber club.  I’m so excited because it will give me the chance to try some different and challenging fibers.  Not to mention Coby makes some beautiful rovings.

I got my niddy-noddy in the mail on Friday also and I finally skeined up my very first 2-ply that I ever spun.  I can already see so much improvement from this first skein compared with the singles I’ve been spinning lately.  I still think it’s really pretty and I’ve hung it on display in my craft room.  It’s only about 30 yards so I can’t imagine I’ll knit anything with it.

I decided not to ply the two other singles I spun so far (the merino/colonial and merino/tencel).  Instead I wound them on the niddy-noddy last night and washed them.  They’re currently hanging in the shower to dry.  Both of them have a bit too much twist, but I’m still learning.  I might knit something with them, though — both have a lot more yardage than my first skein.  I’ll take pictures of those and post them as soon as they’re done drying!
