    Description

    It’s time for me to downsize my smoke-free, pet-friendly home craft studio collection to something I might have a chance to finish in one or two lifetimes! I’m hoping to find eBaying stitchers out there, ready to sit down with their spinning wheels to 'spin a fine yarn' for an anticipated project, simultaneously keeping hands busy in these times when we are “safer at home”.  What a blessing to be able to turn our unexpectedly idle hours into productive ones!
    Spinning has been the craft I picked up last, but has turned into my most productive one, channeling zen-filled hours into yarn for my knitting.  But I've got extra materials in this discipline, as in my needle working pursuits, so I'm offering this gorgeous pastel wool roving, sporting mint blues & greens, candied grape and berries for resale, so someone else can get full use of this beautiful fiber.
    My favorite use for this type of fiber is in afghans and outer wear - it might be a little harsh against the skin, particularly for anyone sensitive to wool garments. I'm not certain from what breed of sheep this will comes, but it feels like Romney to me - great spongy hand, fun to spin, but maybe just a little bit rough. Generally, I knit my spun wool, but I know many weavers who spin for the purpose of making up woven products, as well.
    Happy Spinning!
