A spinning wheel dilemma
I made a giant batt of Jacob fleece last weekend with Paula's large drum carder. It was quite the learning experience but we got it figured out and made this...(click on photos to biggie-size them)
We don't mess around! That thing is 18" wide. It'll take me a while to spin that up!

This week I'm taking what my daughter calls a "two footer" for a test drive. LOL Thanks Paula! I love this LadyBug.
She makes pretty nice yarn. This is that entire giant batt shown above.
I've heard a rumor that my Ashford Traditional is making it's way from Orlando to Benton Harbor. Here's a picture of her hangin out at my Dad's home in sunny Florida.
I might have to make a hard decision about these wheels someday soon...in the meantime I'll be spinning fiber and hanging out with my GR Yarny peeps. Fit some fiber arts into your life, you'll be glad you did. Anybody want to buy some vintage sewing machines? LOL

oooh, is your Traditional walking from Florida? tehehe
The jacob fleece looks delicious! I am bummed that they sold all of their fleeces before I could get one. Argh!
That's a yummy looking batt, happy fiber arts Friday!
Wow that's a lot of fiber! Sure does look fluffy though and calls out to spinning wheels.
Oh, your batt looks wonderfully soft. I love your daughers comment about "two footers". Our grandson is calling a screwdriver a "goose diaper".
Happy Fiber Arts Friday!!!
I'm not sure what the deal is this morning but Blogger won't let me comment on anyone's blog. Please know that I'm not being anti-social, the technology, it fails me this morning. Have a great Fiber Arts Friday!
Beautiful batts! Looking forward to seeing the yarn that comes from it!
That is a BIG bat of lovely fleece! It will take you a while to get through that!
The Ladybug is a cute wheel! It was next on my list to try (again) when I fell in love with my Aura.
Just call em like I see em lol. I still think two footer sounds pretty dang funny :) Nice batt and it made some nice yarn too!!!

This should help for now. Google is still working on the issue, the latest info is on this discussion board:

BTW - I have serious envy over that Jacob Batt and I like hearing about the wheel's travel adventure. I hope she brings pictures. ;-)
I love the pictures of your wheels even tho I'm not a spinner. A friend of mine collects vintage knitting machines, not sure about sewing ;-)
Happy Fiber Arts Friday!
Ally, you might not be the only one having problems posting comments ... but no matter, we know you ain't the anti-social type. :)
I don't spin, but clearly Jacobs fiber is highly sought-after. Yours looks very yummy! And you can keep your vintage sewing machines, thankyouverymuch. :)
Beautiful fleece!!!!!!!
thanks for stopping by and commenting on my new tattoo I LOVE IT!!!
Have a fantastic weekend
I have spun with Jacob once; it was pre-carded, and just a sample size, but I wrote in my spinning notebook that I loved it! I hope you love yours as much:-) it's a lovely big batt!
I'm glad the tips helped. It's supposed to be a temporary solution until they get it fixed properly. :-)
Hi Ally, thanks for visiting and commenting on my 3D floral granny square. The colors are actually Hot pink and lavender but I just can't seem to get my photo editing to "show" hot pink.....it does look red on most monitors. lol
Excellent batt! I'm a little envious of the Ladybug wheel - it looks like fun.
That is a big batt! I love the yarns in your header.
