Blue faced leicester
Det heter sauerasen jeg har spunnet dette garnet av. Nydelig myk ull, som er kjempegod å spinne. Heldigvis har jeg mer igjen!
That's the name of the breed of sheep I've spun this yarn from. Lovely soft wool, nice to spin. Luckily I've got more to spin!

Mer garn - more yarn
Har spunnet litt i det siste. Det lilla er Colonial-ull, kjøpt på Ebay som ferdigfarga fiber. Det hvite er vanlig norsk ull. Har spunnet 2-tråds garn på rokken, og litt entråds garn på håndtein.
I've spun a bit lately. The purple is Colonial-wool bought on Ebay as dyed fibre. The white is regular Norwegian wool. I've spun 2ply yarn on my wheel, and oneply yarn on a spindle.

Nytt garn - new yarn
Her er siste nytt fra rokken min. Dette er garn jeg har spunnet av ull beregnet på toving. Det var en pakke med mye ull i forskjellige farger, jeg delte det i småbiter, og spant garn av det i stedet for å tove noe. Ikke så veldig godt å spinne med, men regner med at jeg finner noe å bruke det til.
Here's the latest from my spinning wheel. This is a hank of yarn I've spun from felting-wool. It was a package with lots of wool in different colours, i separated it to small amounts of fibre, and spun this yarn instead of felting something. Not too good to spin with, but I guess I'll find a use for it.

Påskespinn - easter spin
På forumet Spinnerens Hjem ble det lansert en spinalong, med formål å gjøre ferdig påbegynte spinneprosjekter før påske. Jeg hadde bare to. Pastellfarget Blue Face Leicester -ull, fargen kalles Thermograph, og er håndfarget fiber fra Spunky Eclectic. Jeg har spunnet på håndtein og tvunnet på rokken. Det andre er blanding av alpakka og corriedale-sau, fargen kalles Tangerine, og er fra Spinspiration. Den er spunnet på rokken.
At the forum Spinner's Home a spinalong was launched, with purpose to finish spinning ufos before easter. I had only two. Pastel coloured Blue Faced Leicester, the colour is called Thermograph, and is handpainted wool from Spunky Eclectic. I've spun it on a drop spindle and twined it together on my spinning wheel. The other is a mix of alpaca and corriedale-sheep, the colour is called Tangerine, and comes from Spinspiration. It's spun on my wheel.

Nyspunnet garn - newly spun yarn
I vinterferien spant jeg ferdig dette garnet på rokken min. Det brune er spælsau, og det multifargede er fiber fra klubben til Spunky Eclectic. Syns i utgangspunktet at fargene var grusomme. Men det ferdige resultatet ble ok.
In my winterholiday I finished spinning this yarn on my spinning wheel. The brown is from a norwegian sheep called spælsau, and the multicoloured comes from Spunky Eclectic. I thought the colours were awful, but the result was ok.




Spinner igjen - spinning again
Jeg har tatt frem rokken igjen, nå har jeg ikke brukt den siden i fjor høst. Denne gangen er det brun spælsau-ull jeg spinner. Den er veldig flott å spinne med. Lange flotte fibre, og fine fargevariasjoner,
I've brought out my spinningwheel again, haven't been using it since last fall. This time it's brown spælsauwool I spin. It's a delight to work with, long fibres, and nice colourvariations.

Nyspunnet garn - freshspun yarn
Jeg har spunnet ferdig noe fiber jeg hadde liggende. Har spunnet på håndtein, og syns jeg begynner å få taket på det. Blir ganske jevnt og pent.
I've spun some fibre I had in my stash. It's spun on drop spindle, and I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. It's quite smooth and even.

På rokken spinner jeg for tiden brun shetlandsull og så har jeg endelig fått til å bruke håndteinen mn! Der er det merino-tencel som spinnes.
I'm currently spinning brown shetland wool on my wheel, and I finally got the hang of spinning with my spindle! I'm spinning merino-tencel on it.

Håndspunnet Calorimetry - Handspun calorimetry
Jeg fikk en fiberprøve med ordren fra Spinnulla. Det er colonial ull i fargen Brick, og det ble en litt smal calorimetry.
I got a fibresample with my order from Spinnulla. It's colonial wool in the colour Brick. It became a bit narrow calorimetry.

Lokal ull - local wool
Dette er spunnet av ull jeg har fått hos en kompis som er sauebonde. Myk og god, og ble mye bedre ferdig spunnet enn jeg trodde. Men det er litt av et arbeid å vaske og karde alt...
This is spun from wool I got from a friend who's a sheepfarmer . Very soft, and it was much better finished than I thought, but washing and carding it is quite a job...
