More Fiber Fun

I decided to look up Roc Day and I discovered that there is a Wikipedia entry for this event! Roc Day (AKA distaff day) is January 7 of each year. It marked the day after all of the Christmas celebrations when folks would return to their spinning. I have sent messages to Lisa and Karin to see if they want to carpool over to Louisiana for Roc Day 2006.

Cynthia stayed over for the whole weekend and we dyed the laceweight yarn she skeined last night today. I am very happy with the results as she seems to be. We dyed it all at once, so she could use it to knit a lace shawl. Here are the photos of all the skeins hung out to drip dry and an extreme close-up.





I finished spinning the sliver that I started on Friday at the Ag Museum. Then I showed Cynthia how to Navajo ply. It made for a very pretty yarn. I am washing it right now and hope to have photos soon. Cynthia and Rodger are on he road home and I am watching TiVo, between piddling around, doing chores, and posting here. It has been a great weekend.
