Mike processed some roving with some of the Tunis Wool we had from our last shearing. It is very different than spinning the Romney Wool. It is a finer, shorter wool and I am having a hard time making the adjustments needed.
I do find, I am very good at making slubs. What is a slub? Well in the fiber world, a slub is large, uneven textures in yarn, and if you don't already know, that is not something
brag about!
Oh well, practice, practice, practice!
Good for you.. You will master it..
ReplyDeleteWoohoo ~ I'm a slubber too:) I didn't know that is what it was called. Thank you. The wonderful gal that has been teaching me says, "It's artistic yarn." Isn't she sweet?
ReplyDeleteJust found you ~ love the woolies.

ReplyDeleteWould slubby yarn make good scarves? It sounds like it would make a fun texture.
ReplyDeleteHa ha, even the word slub doesn't sound so good...
ReplyDeleteLOL You are funny. I do happen to like the look of slubs in some things. It adds a Bohemian, natural, earthy look that I like.
ReplyDeleteI just learned something new today, I learned what "slub" means :)
ReplyDeleteSlubs are "design elements" ;-D.
ReplyDeleteThis was so interesting, thank you for sharing it on our Four Seasons Blog Hop.
