Spinning Finsheep Fibre


I though I would do a post today about what I have been spinning.....



Dark Brown/Black Finsheep Roving



So this is the finsheep roving in a beautiful dark brown/black.....
I love spinning with this finsheep roving.....

And this is what I have hand spun so far.....

I am trying so hard to spin as thin as I can and trying to stay consistent.....

 As you can see I like to pre draft my roving first, before I start spinning.....

 This Finsheep roving is ever so soft.....
