2 New Wheel & ‘Radhakund’

26/11/2016 – 9/12/2016

Got a Ashford Joy 2 from Sam near Newcastle.

Lovely wheel.

“Radhakund”

Cant remember what they said the wool was, but it is a lovely reddy brown, but fairly coarse.  I flicked the ends, made some fairly dodgy rolags and spun from that.  img_20161127_112302

Other than a disastrous first attempt at plying (NO idea why, stumped Sue the teacher too) I really enjoyed this.  A very lumpy, bumpy skein, but a skein 🙂

I made it into a hat for Dad, but it turned out a bit too small.
