I am currently spinning a variety of different fibers. Just like my stitching, I want to finish all the items I have on the go before I start anything new. And oh are there a lot of pretty things waiting for my attention.
On the Kromski Sonata I am spinning a wool and silk blend. It is rather sticky and not a lot of fun to spin. Once it is spun and washed, I think it will be very pretty.
On my spindles, I am working on a 80/20 BFL and nylon blend in the color Bounty Hunter's Picnic. This is a long term spin. I am taking my time and enjoying the process. The fiber came from a fiber club by Into the Whirled. Even though it has been in my stash for a couple years, it is spinning like a dream. It wasn't compacted at all.
On the Electric Eel I am working on a fiber from Wisconsin Sheep and Wool. I don't recall who the vendor was or what type of wool it was. It is a mixture of wool and sparkle. Emphasis on Sparkle. It is oh so pretty and interesting to spin. I really have to pay attention or I end up with all sparkle or all wool. But I think that may be what is making it fun.
