Fantasia from Kromski

December 22nd, 2009 — 10:00 pm

I think this was love at first sight. New for 2010 from Kromski. I’ve never spun on a Kromski. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever even seen one up close, but this one is lovely. The walnut accent on the wheel is the real eye catcher. The bobbins are interchangable with their other wheels, so I think it would look even better with a walnut bobbin.


Can I justify another wheel? No. I only have two hands and two feet, and I already have two wheels…but it’s so p-r-e-t-t-y…

To Dye For

The results from today’s dye pot. I’m really liking the fuzzy brown/black/grey in the front. It was a new spinning technique I used to wrap teased Wensleydale around a black Shetland wool core then plied with mohair. Very plump and fuzzy. Basketball sized skein. Might have to name that one ‘Monster’!
