I have some beautiful locally grown Shetland X that I’ve started processing. I’ve skirted, washed, and carded the fleece and now I’m on to the spinning.
With approximately 1100 grams of soft and fluffy wool clouds to work with, I have lots of options for fun projects. For now though, I just enjoying the spinning process.
Sitting down and letting this soft wool slip through my fingers and onto the wheel is such a calming and grounding activity. I love the slow, purposeful process of working from sheep’s back to finished project …. The continuation of Slow December into Slow and Purposeful January.
You’ll most likely see a bit of this fleece over the next white as I spin it up and decide what it wants to be.
Anyone else really sinking in to slow and purposeful making this year? What are you working on? I’d love to hear. 💗

Yup that me. Working on swatching to knit a linen top for summer. It’s pretty thin feeling compared to the Lambs Pride bulky from stash that I used and just finished the Thick and Quick mittens for myself! It will likely be done for next winter. Haha! Great pattern and wanted to say thank you!
