That's an ounce on each bobbin. I'm going to be making A LOT of 2ply lace weight in the near future.
The fiber is BFL/Silk and it's another test spin for The Cupcake Fiber Company. The color is actually darker and richer. Y'all know me and a camera. There are a few more boxes of BFL/Silk in the shop if you're thinking about spinning for new lace.
Or just want something new to pet. ;^)
And I'm still in love with that lazy kate. Well... as in love with anything as I can be. (It's hard over here, people.) I used to pack it away when I wasn't spinning. However, I finally smartened up and now keep it out all the time. I store my bobbins on it and it's a good way for me to see where I am at a glance. Things totally changed when I started production spinning. Now if I could just turn that skill into money...
Not bad for a photo taken through a windshield at the Target parking lot, right? Well, for me anyway.
Thursday we'll talk about the sock that wouldn't end. Or maybe about how much I hate people who stop taking their meds and end up whoring for attention online. I might even post links and gossip. It'll depend on this week's stress headache. :p
Happy Tuesday, people!
peachy or orangy? I like it thought I think. What colorway is it?
You wanna spin for money??? Hmmmm... damn I got fiber.

It's "The Birds"!!!!!!
One lovely ounce will probably produce 2000 yds, knowing you. The bfl/silk sounds like heaven!!

Yes, links and gossip, please. I don't get much excitement over this way...

Links and gossip? Oh yes please!
Posted by: Carole | Tuesday, March 01, 2011 at 12:04 PM
Links and gossip would be fun!
I thought for sure you were going to say that the birds were trying to get your singles. It is next building season after all.

Lovely yarn! BFL is wonderful so BFL silk must be extra wonderful...
"The Birds" movie must have really made an impression on me...all it takes is a few birds in a tree to make me think of it! o.0

You'll be plying for days and come up with some ridiculous yardage, because you suck, you know.
Mmmm, bfl/silk, makes my heart go flutter. What I wouldn't give for a day just to sit and spin, or even ply. I'm not fussy at this point.
Love birds. LOVE them.
Take my meds. *head smack* I knew I forgetting something. *grin*
Posted by: Denise | Tuesday, March 01, 2011 at 02:10 PM
Forgetting meds, whoring in public,,, sounds very intriguing!
Oh those singles, how true is the color issue, ignore that will ask the proper person :)
We think you can make a small fortune but who asks us, right?
Posted by: Rachel | Tuesday, March 01, 2011 at 02:17 PM
The color looks perfect from here!
The babysitter let me watch The Birds when I was 5 - it took me 40 years to get over.

One more vote for links and gossip! We need all the entertainment we can get.

I've been doing my very best to not buy any more fiber until I at least finish some of what I've got and you are making it very difficult.
Links & gossip sounds like fun...

so they quoth nevermore and whatnot.

Some colors -- many colors, in fact -- are nearly impossible to capture accurately with a camera. That lacy stuff sure looks purdy...
Posted by: kmkat | Tuesday, March 01, 2011 at 08:16 PM
ooh, linky, linky. Do eet! I'm never in the loop, wah..
Production spinning indeed! Love the pink color- I see a lovely shawl in the future. Any plans for the pattern? Nupps would look great in pink...
Posted by: kelly | Tuesday, March 01, 2011 at 09:13 PM
Ooooo, links and gossip, please. You know how we all love to gaze at the carnage...
Posted by: gayle | Wednesday, March 02, 2011 at 05:12 AM
What's the plan for that pretty laceweight? Another of those Nibbles patterns?
Where are you finding all this online drama? I'm missing out!
Posted by: sil | Wednesday, March 02, 2011 at 05:59 AM
Oh - I like that a lot! Blackbirds... waiting for the pie crust? :D
.. a lil gossip wouldn't be bad.... I vote for the links and whoring gossip please... chortle :D
Posted by: Daniele | Wednesday, March 02, 2011 at 10:28 AM
My guesses........raking leaves. Collecting butterflies. Robbing a bank? Oh, I give up.
Oh, THAT!! who could have guessed? Sheesh.
Whoring for attn? why do I always want to know about this kind of thing? (Yeah, I know. Terminally nosy.)
That is a fabulous picture.

Very nice singles.
Mmmmm...more pretties for which I must save my pennies.
I hope the headache is gone.
