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.

The Renaissance Center is HUGE. It houses the Marriott as well as the world headquarters for General Motors, a shopping center, food court and several very nice restaurants. We had lunch at Seldom Blues. It was a very good lunch and I’d like to go back for dinner. They have live music in the evening and a completely different dinner menu.
We had room service for dinner and I won’t go into details about any other parts of the trip.
Lou left this morning to head back to Delaware and I will hopefully see him in a week and a half for the Police at the Palace at Auburn Hills. I know that’s a link to Sting’s website but he is babelicious, no?
