Spinning happily along - now working on the weft thread for one of the fabrics.It is coming along nicely, the spinning work. Not every day is like every other one, but today felt like a really good one - which is nice, as I want to have a good batch done and ready to go into the post by the end of this week.

Drafting from the Romney top. You can see the difference between the fluffed-up loosened (pre-drafted) fibres beneath my hands and the original top hanging down beside my leg.There is, of course, also the periodical checking of thread thickness and spinning angle:

First the thickness... which should be around 0.5 mm for this one...[caption id="attachment_2825" align="alignnone" width="640"]
...and then the angle with help of my thread counter.For today, though, I'm done spinning. More thread will be made tomorrow!
