Bizarre pink and orange fruit of the spindle is very abundant this year.

Coopworth/Alpaca roving in Madder

Part of this week's Tour de Fleece work. This is a blend of merino/alpaca and silk that I blended on my drum carder. I have two other shades of turquise to finish, then it'll make a 3-ply sock yarn.

Bottom spindle and new top spindle. Two plied balls of wool done on the top spindle. Third one on the bottom spindle.

There is one roving left to do.

The challenge I set myself was to spin for 10 minutes each day for the week. This is what I did on Day 1.

Use strong converging lines in a photograph today. It's your choice whether or not to show the vanishing point.

The Spindle Ermine Caterpillars I spotted on the tree by Jesus Lock last year are back at about the same time of year. The infestation is in the early stages but soon the spindle tree next to Jesus Green footbridge is going to be absolutely covered in webs from these things.

This was my Christmas present to myself- a 28g banded oak burr spindle made by IST Crafts. It spins really well and is beautifully made. The tuft of fibre is some really soft I've been spinning in a sort of longdraw style for fluffiness.

Yarn I spun on the spindle Brown made for me. Wool, 128 yards, 2.25 oz.

Has a bit more yellow and purple than shows here. Will probably be a small pair of fingerless gloves.

Jenkins Lark Turkish spindle made of Lilac wood. Weighs .81 oz.

This is my first supported spindle. Yarn is superwash merino from Lorna's.

This small, and mostly inconspicuous, tree or shrub produces bright reddish-pink, lobed, poisonous fruits in the autumn. The fruit capsules eventually split open to reveal a bright orange seed.
