all this took about two hours this morning. next i want to try lightly carding the fleece before blending, to see how that spins up tomorrow, after i ply this. i spun this, mostly, long draw, with some difficulty with tufty bits, so i want to see it i can smooth that out some. i want to make a soft fingering, but soft of what i'm really going for, whatever weight it comes out at this point. trying to remember if i'm supposed to weight woolen while drying...need to find out before tomorrow</div>

all this took about two hours this morning. next i want to try lightly carding the fleece before blending, to see how that spins up tomorrow, after i ply this. i spun this, mostly, long draw, with some difficulty with tufty bits, so i want to see it i can smooth that out some. i want to make a soft fingering, but soft of what i'm really going for, whatever weight it comes out at this point. trying to remember if i'm supposed to weight woolen while drying...need to find out before tomorrow</div>

he made the orifice hook on the right;maybe he will make me some hardware to go with the pin in the middle.</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-IvHUWFOWACU/Tlli7rsKEBI/AAAAAAAA57w/ixFUcgFexAY/s1600-h/DSCN0319%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none;
