A Little More

Putting white with the rainbow.
Some white roving, some rainbow

Comparison of white w. rainbow & just rainbow.

Mixing white & rainbow on combs for blending.

Comb blended result is on bottom


All were spun using short forward draw. Medium ratio. 2 ply.

Tea time with a plum cake made with the plums from my tree. It is an Italian prune plum specially for jam making. Not enough yet for a batch of jam, but plenty for a little cake.
















A little canning had to be done today too. Tomatoes from my garden & white grape jelly from my garden.

Experiments

I've no idea of the content other than being 100 % wool. Glowing. I went searching for flax, but found this instead. I've taken a short strip of roving to see the results. It's not wet finished yet. Lustrous... If that's what you want. 
That's the strip I divided into 4 to make a two ply. Here it is spun.
