My latest completed skein. It’s Lorna’s Laces Roving in the Asian colorway. When I got these rovings in in December I was a little disappointed with their feel. They weren’t as soft as the Lorna’s yarns. But I looked at this particular color over and over and finally decided to try it out. It was spun on the Schacht Matchless double treadle using double drive. I did plenty of experimenting as you can see from the unevenness of the yarn. There was the short forward draft, the short backward draft and a little long draw thrown in there just for spite. This stuff takes some patience to spin. Predrafting and preparation is a huge key to being successful. I must say that the finished product feels good. I like the weight of it and I like the drape.

I think I see my house in that last pic. 😉
Great pictures!
Sting? Really. How I envy you. I saw a great PBS Great performances of him and another guy just doing Medieval or Renaissance pieces using lutes. It was super fanstic. Have fun.
