><\/p>\n

We are having more than showers today, and it seemed a good day to stay in, do some baking for the upcoming holiday weekend, and spin during the waiting times of rising and baking.<\/p>\n

A good friend of mine gave me this wonderful roving over the weekend. I don\u2019t know why I\u2019m getting such lovely surprise presents this spring, but I\u2019m enjoying all of them.<\/p>\n

This roving is from Linda Lee, known as exclusivelylindalee<\/a> on etsy. It\u2019s cotton, and I have not spun cotton since a very futile attempt once as a new spinner! Since I could only spin worsted back in those early days I could not spin the cotton I\u2019d bought. I think I got rid of it in a guild raffle. Fast forward about a decade, and I am having a wonderful time with this beautifully painted roving, which is called \u201cPhoenix Garden\u201d colorway. <\/p>\n

\"Cotton<\/a>My, that decade sure flew by quickly! I have visions of a woven project with this yarn\u2026.just have to find appropriate warp, as I\u2019d like to leave this yarn a singles so I don\u2019t have to plan the color sequence in plying.\"cotton<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
