Spun creamsicle

 

 

I spent a bit of time with my aunt over the Thanksgiving holiday last year re-learning how to spin with a drop spindle.  She had this lovely roving that looked just like an orange creamsicle, my mom's favorite.  I spun every day for weeks when I got home, finishing off the creamsicle roving and then moving on to some other fibres and spindles I had packed up in a crate.  And that's really when much of what my aunt was teaching me came together.  I can totally spin on a drop spindle now....if it's the same fibre and spindle as the creamsicle experience.  Otherwise, I'm a little screwed.  I am currently on a brief pause so I can finish up some other projects.  No, they totally are not really overdue Christmas presents....they are ...valentine's day presents, yeah, that's it!
