Winter Wool



About 50 yards of two
ply yarn.

Spun and plied on a drop spindle.

Raw wool color.

I didn't know how much I would
enjoy spinning raw fleece.

I love the process.

It makes me thankful..
for the sheep,
for the wool the sheep has provided,
for the shepherd who tended it,
for the person who sheared it.

Just little thoughts that spin 
through my mind as I spin.

A bowl of yummy fiber goodness!
I love the simple rustic feel of the wood bowl and the natural yarn-beautiful!
