what’s new in the house
Look what showed up at my house, yes it really is a picture. No it didn’t show up with a full bobbin, I filled that. What is it you may be asking, it’s a Butterfly e-Spinner. Very fast and Whisper quiet. That bobbin you see sitting on top, well it’s a Woolee Winder Bobbin and it’s much closer to standard size than that full bobbin. That full bobbin is a Jumbo Ashford Bobbin and can hold 8oz of fiber, and well i just happend to have 8 oz lazing around waiting to be plied. I won’t know the yardage until I get around to skeining it, and who knows how long that will take, I have 2 other ginormous bobbins, and 4 of the Woolee Winder bobbins, and an a bearing so I can use my old Lendrum Woolee Winder, yes I sold the Lendrum, but I kept the Woolee Winder 
, good thing I did.
The fiber, it’s a Blue Moon Sheep to Shoe kit in one of the Raven Colors – Rook-y. It really does look mostly black, but i did notice stretch of color as i was plying, so we’ll see what happens to it when i skein it. There is a bit of a dark dark gray in there and you can see a hint of it in the pic.
Back to playing with my new toy.
