Spinning Peanut


So this is my first attempt at spinning peanut's fleece. You can see how well she cleaned up. This yarn is less consistent than I have been, but the wool was not prepared as well (read, I prepared it myself with a dog comb, instead of getting it from a mill). I feel like it'll get smoother with practice. Also, peanut's wool is crimpy-er than the merino and corriedale top that I've been working with, so this yarn will have a bit of a halo. Halo equals more warmth, so that's not too bad.

Peanut

Sandy's dad sent me several pounds of raw fleece.  It came to me at work, so you can see the world from my desk (the lobby of the firm).  
Opening the box...
Reading the note.  
And my first glimpse of Peanut, tan, a little poopy,  and full of hay.  
Sorry for the poor photo quality, all photos taken with my iPhone.
