Last of my Brecknock Hill Cheviot fleece

[bergere]

Spun up the last of the fleece from what they now call Mini cheviots, from the flock I used to raise.




Because it is a more course, hard wearing wool, I blended it with some super soft Llama, about half and half.  Have no idea what I am going to do with it....




Soaking to do the set....



I use eucalan wool wash.

Want to spin some more yarn this morning, but my new cat Rose, has fallen asleep on me.

That is real pretty bergere. Natural black??

Love the winder on your wheel!

Yes, Natural black... love black fleece.

Thank you, winder works pretty good. Though one my past kitties, liked to chew on the NZ wood, if she got a chance. LOL

How to you knit the black? I have such a hard time seeing the stitches, especially when I make a mistake and have to count back and find the error. This is even when I use light-colored needles.

I knitted a little scarf awhile ago, haven't been able to knit a little over 8 years. Just knitted in bright light, I know a friend that wears those high contrast glasses.
Right now I just spin yarn... I sell just enough to cover my costs and save the rest. Some day, I might find someone to make me a sweater or some what.
