elizabeyta in spinning


In our travels, we really did not buy anything frivoulous.  Yes, I bought some more metal water bottles of the size I like.  I have difficulty finding them here.  And I bought a ceramic to go cup.  I use it everyday and it is NOT white!  That is what I liked about it.  Tea is so much better not out of paper or metal.

We did make a stop in Laramie, Wyoming to look at anitque tools.  There was nothing of interest for My Beloved this time.  Maybe there will be next time.  He would really like a crosscut saw.  We (I) decided to wander downtown Laramie.  I loved the name of the yarn shop, Cowgirl Yarn.  They had a lot of nice yarns.  Some you can find anywhere.  Some I had not seen before.  Some spun from local fiber.  But they had local roving!  I picked up a very large roll of roving from Wyoming.  Since we have been home, I have used my drop spindle to spin in front of videos.  There is so much lanolin in this wool, I am crocheting a shawl as I spin.  It is a very fun texture.  

A way to get my spinning better.  I do find it translates to my spinning wheel.
