TdF #20: Bottom foreground, finished plying yesterday's spinning. Also pictured, the singles waiting wrapped on a wool dryer ball just waiting for more spinning. Top photo: More carding and blended the wool that was on deck. Still practicing long draw techniques. #KeepSpinning #KeepLearning #DraftingMethods #FranquemontUniversity alt-txt: top image fluffy rolags (rolled tubes of carded wool) in color gradients from left to right from bright yellow/green through olive/green to blue/green. bottom image: a slightly twisted on itself skein oh blue and green yarn and a ball with green yarn wrapped around it. https://www.instagram.com/p/CRYOPoZlVQG/?utm_medium=tumblr

TdF Day #10: My long-draw studies kept me from being anxious about today's mandatory return to office. I am slightly less bad today than the day before. #FranquemontUniversity #DraftingMethods #BlendedFibers #TdF#EEWNanoQuill #KeepLearning KeepSpinning alt-txt: Collage of photos of yarn and wool. Top image variegated colors from dark brown through blue through teal, including blend still on the hand cards. Bottom left, three new yarns blending from brown through blue-jeans faded blue to teal. Bottom right, carded fluffs of wool in lofty tubes called rolags, variegated from very light blue into blue green. https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ_HtTMF9na/?utm_medium=tumblr

Having spun my long draw through the black, brown, and into blues, I needed to set up the colors on deck to be carded for more spinning. Not sure how much I will end up spinning before I say, "Ah ha. Not only have I got this, I can do this predictably every time." Probably not worth worrying about. Just do the work. #FranquemontUniversity #DraftingMethods #BlendedFibers #KeepSpinning #KeepLearning alt-txt: left to right, fluffy wool rolags in light blue/grey/dark blue blends, and strips of Corriedale wool samples in a spectrum of solid colors from blue to green to olive to chartreuse (bright green/yellow) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ9JJsJlQkY/?utm_medium=tumblr
