I spun up a bit of corriedale pencil roving from CMF that I had picked up at Madrona this winter.
The color is called Pueblo.
I only had loan of the wheel for a few days, so I spun 1 oz of fiber on each of two bobbins, and then plyed them together. Bagel was not in the mood for a photo shoot,
so I tried with the newest additions to the family
They seemed much more interested.And one final view:
The skein is corkscrewing on itself, so I think that I was a bit zealous when I plyed. I'll see if it relaxes some in a warm water bath (who wouldn't!) It doesn't really matter, as this was an experiment in trying out a new wheel. I have a lot more of the roving to make a kid a sweater (maybe The Ungrateful will like it?)

I love the fish shot! Bagel doesn't seem to be working it, like he normally does. Must not be his color? :-) I'm glad you enjoyed playing with the wheel. It's always interesting to try out new wheels. Sort of like shopping for a car, you need to drive them awhile and test them out!
They're beautiful wheels. And what was the verdict? Are you adopting the foster wheel?
The Schacht is a great wheel. I have had mine for about 10 years now.
The Corriedale really came out well!
Ohhh - so...?
