fiber test

I used my drop spindle and spun the fiber I was given for my birthday.  Just little bits of fiber to see if we might be interested in the Karakul goats.  

The grey is softer then the white, but as my Beloved said, not as soft as we expected.  The search will continue.  I am hoping to buy a fleece or two of Shetland sheep.  I have heard that they are easy lambers and their wool is very soft. 

This experimentation is fun, but I admit that if I skip of day of spinning, either with my drop spindle or my spinning wheel, I feel like I do not catch up.  I do not mind because I find it very meditative but I do feel like I need more hours in the day.
