Stash enhancement

By -
On March 8th this year, there was this fiber thing that my friend Tina put together
called "Stir Crazy Stitch and Spin" down in Hudson NY. It was held at the Hudson Opera House

What's this got to do with stash enhancement? You say....

Tina had door prizes I won this lovely purple bit of fiber from
Jessica
Also, seekay was there with this bit of Merino I could not pass up.


Yes, I believe that I can spin this
now.

Wadda ya think T?

    I thought I was the one who *bought* the purplish fiber from Jessica. I thought you won the lovely White/green/brown from her. No matter. Pick which one you love, and I'll love the other. Easy when it's fiber from Jessica.

    That was a representative color. I could not/did not get a decent snap of it

    Awesome! I had no idea you had a blog going on, good for you. I think you're a good enough spinner and then some. The trick is to find your comfort zone, draft or pre-draft etc. and just go for it.

For what it's worth, there ain't much unless you drink. Even then, most of those places are hardcore dives. Yet, there is one place that can be counted on time and time again..... Yeah, I am a sucker for the "Upstate Soft cone" the $2.00 treat that kept us going and driving from one stand to another when were utterly broke when we arrived here.

Over the weekend, My wife Harriet and I hit an estate sale because we saw "LARGE ESTATE SALE (GLENMONT)" in the local edition of Craigslist. What really intrigued us was this snippet from the ad "NEW SMALL SPINNING WHEEL" To us, small means an Ashford not a great wheel What we found was Marked at $125.00 This made me want to pass.. Except this was day TWO of the sale and everything was...... HALF-PRICE...... This was worth $62.50 even if it did not work just for parts... I does not have a makers mark however BTW it does spin... See this image .. I added that purple leader and I spun that last night. Oh yeah it's a double drive that seems to have leather bearings and a solid flyer / whorl combo. Detail here.... Maddening I say, he who is used to the Ashford set up. I think it's from the mid-sixties as a kit-decorative wheel as the mains are affixed to the platen via square head 1/4" 20's nuts. And the legs have thread heads for screwing into the p
