So, what have you all wanted to spin, and haven't gotten around to it yet?
And special fleece, flax or ?
I have a wool list a mile long, and have always wanted to spin flax.

I want to learnt to spin my own wool (Cotswold) finer and more evenly. I was seriously considering planting some flax before I got a new hay man in. I thought perhaps I could get more per acre from hand harvested flax than the awful late first cutting hay... And if I grew it, I'd have to spin some.

Need more time.. or money to hire someone to mow this place, takes all my time and energy up. And winning the power ball would be nice. Sounds like you have some really wonderful stuff to spin up.

You will get there, more you practice the better you will get.  |

The Madelinetosh is beautiful!! I would love to make some, or something like it too!!
I think for now I'm just going to work on my considerable stash!
I got lucky last Christmas. My local yarn store was selling some beautiful targhee roving. I bought 3 pds. I was going to wait till I could dye it all. It's so luscious I've decided to spin 1 pd by hand on my drop spindle now. I'm going to play with my dyes and get the color combos worked out and then dye and wheel spin the other 2 pds.
Having this much targhee to use and spin with is something I've wanted for a long time!
