couldn't resist spinning up the roving i dyed any longer...
i'm pretty pleased with it, my tension is getting better & is getting closer to an aran rather than bulky lol... i'll probably knit it into a bag for me..???
and i've already started wishing that i had a jumbo flyer & bobbins for my wheel, cos i could only *just* fit this all on!
and speaking of my wheel, here are before & after pics of it-
possibly not the most obviously striking transformation in photo form, but i think it had been left out in the damp a bit, and had had cheap oil used on it too, so it had black stains & general grubbiness all over it. i managed to get rid of a lot of it via much sanding & polishing with beeswax, so it looks vastly better in person!
still a lot of 'vintage character' however ;-)
