The wood is Guapinollilo, which I've never heard of before, and it weighs 0.91 oz. It's smaller than I anticipated, so I'm very curious if I'm savvy enough to actually use it, lol.
Just so you don't think I'm slacking by not rushing fiber onto my new spindle (who has yet to be named), here are my current projects...
Polworth Fiber in Tropical Sea, one ounce out of my 5-fiber sampler in Sea Glass from Spinning Bunny. The spindle is my "Dreamboat", handmade by Jim at Spinning Bunny.
100% Superwash Blue Faced Leicester in Red Geranium, with a touch of Red Firestar Nylon for some sparkle, from Long Dog Handspun. The spindle is borrowed from my amazing instructor Jody, who loaned it to me when I left my spindles at home during a shopping spree fiber event. This is the reason I now own two turkish spindles!
Panda Fiber, the color is a gorgeous purple but I don't know the official name of it. It is also an ounce out of my 5-fiber sampler in Sea Glass from Spinning Bunny. If you've never spun Panda, I recommend giving it a try, you are in for a treat!
The spindle is my first Turkish from Valkyrie, weighing in at 1.6 oz. This spindle will probably be great for plying!
My friends who have corrupted me with this new obsession tell me I've gone down the rabbit hole... they don't realize that I'm just following their bread crumbs.
My friends who think this is a tremendous waste of time... offer to buy me yarn.
Well for me, in the words of Miley Cyrus, it's not the mountain, it's the climb!
I promise you that I DID learn something new in February... and I WILL get around to sharing it with you.
On a more serious note, since I'm sending thoughts out to the universe...
I found out that a friend of mine, I will call him TB, has a serious disease...
If you pray, please add him and his family...
