I have been listing some locks and handspun in the shop as I have time.  Since the winter weather has let up a bit, I have had time to get caught up on some projects.  🙂

The sheep are doing great and the fleeces look super nice!

Spring is almost here!  It’s time to make some sport socks on my Erlbacher Gearhart circular sock machine.

The warp is on the sectional beam.  I am still debating on which draft so not much happening on the AVL at the moment!

I am happy to get a good photo of one of my Cormo sheep… Most photos end up like the one below because the sheep are always too close!

The long towel warp is off the AVL loom.  Now time to hem!

The above draft was a Hin und Weider.

Next warp is going to be a black scarf warp.  Bamboo yarn.  This yarn is slick, so I am making a cross for the sections.
