    Description

    It’s time for me to downsize my smoke-free, pet-friendly home craft studio collection to something I might have a chance to finish in one or two lifetimes! I’m hoping to find eBaying fiber enthusiasts out there, ready to sit down with their spinning wheels to 'spin a fine yarn' for an anticipated project, simultaneously keeping hands busy in these times when we are “safer at home”.  What a blessing to be able to turn our unexpectedly idle hours into productive ones!
    Like a good many creative folk, I tend to go a little overboard in gathering my toys around me! As a person devoted to needle-crafting, the last of my acquired hobbies was spinning - goes so well into knitting, one of my earliest avocations! Intent on having what I needed for all the projects I envisioned, I went overboard on purchasing hand-dyed fiber for spinning.
    I call this roving
    All Day Sucker,
    four ounces of hand-painted wool roving prepared for home Spinning.  I think the pics I've taken of the roving pretty well match the colors I see in person, though the yellow may be a little more vivid than in life. But to me, it looks like one of those impossibly enormous, vividly colored lollipops you find at carnivals and roadside booths along scenic highways.
    I can't be certain who produced it or from what breed of sheep this wool comes - it was stored unlabeled in my smoke free, cat-friendly storage room.  The hand is medium soft, but I don't think I'd like to wear it against my skin.  I originally intended to use it in knitting up a many colored afghan for one of my students - but the project was made without including this particular roving. Is there a project that springs to your mind that could use some bright colors?
    Keep Spinning - just like our planet!
