Episode 5: Spinning, Travels, and Drawloom Set Up

This has been quite a couple months for Erica and Michelle. They both did some traveling and spent time with their kids who were home from school, but also managed to get in some fiber time. Michelle spent a week in northern Michigan where she did some spinning by the lake. Going back home was difficult. Finished Objects: Erica managed to finish a number of projects this summer. Erica wove a Handspun scarf! It is very Whovian! Erica also finished her Colour Study knitting samples! This is the second step in the overall study.  The next step will be to weave a gamp/sample blanket with all these yarns.This has been a really interesting study so far. Although Erica still has a hard time deciding which technique she likes best or might use in future for spinning multi-colored tops. it is good to know that each technique produces great results. Erica does not feel like she encountered any muddying of colors. Erica thinks this is due to the use of analagous dyed color ways.
