I haven't used it, as I don't have a swift to wind it down with. But it will keep. And I won't dye it, I really like it's natural colour. <br /><br />The book sounds great, make up your own, as you get inspiration from the pictures. <br /><br />And.. can't wait to be 'Surprise'-ed.MoniqueB.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04640582193247984041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259281.post-10903686705383694952009-09-18T21:19:42.043-07:002009-09-18T21:19:42.043-07:00Ugh!

I would <i>so</i> love to get some of the goods Fleegle has in her etsy store, but with so little time to knit it makes no sense. Nice to know that someone is diving right in.

This means she is going to dye more cashmere so perhaps you will see a color you really like. Look at some of the ones she has already sold on etsy and see if she can make some in a color you like. The cashmere is really short staple so I find myself spinning on a very small whorl and very fast. spinning over the fold works really well and if you can do long draw or supported long draw you can get pretty thin. Make sure you have enough twist though or it will drift apart when you go to ply!Lacefreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291336363387079445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259281.post-85976964100038535512009-09-06T02:07:11.509-07:002009-09-06T02:07:11.509-07:00nice gratutious knitting & spinning pron :o)
...nice gratutious knitting & spinning pron :o)<br /><br />I will just sit and admire the spindles for the wood they are.... love the cashmere fluff from Fleegle and the colourway I saw that in the shop and thought Mmmmm and now she just has a not-me-at-all pink in... but I am going to try some especially as someone gave me a suggestion how to spin finer the other day.....LittleBerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13161807446948103323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259281.post-25672422924599053872009-09-05T15:50:27.208-07:002009-09-05T15:50:27.208-07:00That cashmere spins so pretty that I'm almost ...That cashmere spins so pretty that I'm almost done with the 2 ounces I got. You know this means I need MORE which I'm sure you will get to as soon as you can Hint Hint. I love your Etsy shop and I have lust in my heart for those bags that can carry a cone of yarn. I custom ordered the spindles you see from Kevin because I got tired of trying to buy off his site. Other people kept beating me to them. The one with the red streak is Box Elder, the really dark one is Banksia Pod and the two lighter ones are Eucalyptus Bur and Oak Bur. They look very much alike so I don't know one from the other. His spindles lack sophistication or a polished finish but he uses nice wood and the prices are very reasonable.Lacefreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291336363387079445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259281.post-20971774124521109152009-09-05T15:25:37.801-07:002009-09-05T15:25:37.801-07:00Well, I do feel flattered!

I am so proud!<br /><br />What is that lovely red-streaked wood on the top spindle? It's lovely. Wish you would tell us what they are made of so we can gallop off and get some of our own to match :)fleeglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06348327363198905898noreply@blogger.com
