No wood work...

for a while at least, it's just too hot to work in the Garage, where my Lathe is.  I do have a cane to do for one of Kimber's friends, but until the weather gets cooler that will probably be about the only thing I do.  I do have some spinning going however.  I bought some beautiful roving at Faire a few weeks ago, all white and pale pink and blue, with some lavender and dark blue as well. 











I wanted to colors to be a little more pronounced in the final yarn, so I split each section length-wise as I spun, pulling out the dark blue, the white and pale pink , and the pale blue and lavender in different sections. Then I spun each section.












 So far the yarn on the bobbin looks like...


I think I'm going to Navajo ply this, and since it's spun very fine, I should end up with a lace weight 3 ply variegated yarn.  I'll post pics when I'm done.
