Fiber Friday Fun
I started the day with a bad headache. Mostly gone now – settled in the background. I find spinning very soothing. Finally finished the pink/red merino super wash I’ve been spinning. Not sure about the length as its still on the bobbin but ever so soft. What do you think? Selling at .15/yard. Email dollcan@gmail.com […]
