About 5 bobbins worth of hand combed top. I was going to do 13 balls of top per bobbin, but I might end up adding to that total. So I'm trying to get the combing done before I get too far in the spinning, so I don't have too many bobbins I need to add to.
The goal is to get 9 fairly evenly full bobbins, to make for an efficient use of singles when I make a 3 ply yarn. Counting balls of top is much easier than trying to get exact weights, though not quite as precise. I figure it will be close enough, in the end.
In addition to this, I have 2 "completed" bobbins of singles. 13 balls per, but there's room for more on each bobbin.
I'll probably blog soon about this and the dyeing process. Maybe today...
There is nothing more geometric on a sunny day than several hexagons within a large octagon commanding you to STOP.
Took this through a dirty windshield driving down Santa Fe Avenue which runs along the RR tracks. We were both going at approximately 50 MPH. Always wanted to do it, but never thought it would come out. Another 'hair raising' moment for Mama Z.
Had a five hour drive and came back with a hodgepodge of images from trains to Zebras to Brahma Bulls and more... It was a very 'strange' morning.
