Baby, right round, like a record, baby, right round round round…

Ok.

I got my first taste of Phat Fiber this month.  LOVE it.  I’m new to spinning, yet already hooked.

Handspun, the first.  1 oz., 1/2 of which is Ashford Corriedale Sliver in Lime, the other 1/2 was the “Macaw” BFL sample from BeesyBee.  Both spun & plied on my Louet octagonal 41 g top whorl drop spindle.

Handspun, the first.

25 yards of aran/bulky.

It started as this sample of Macaw on BFL.  It spun like a dream.

I’ve also spun the Anemone sample by Hands & Notions.

I loved this sample in no uncertain terms.  I didn’t think I could love something that had so much stuff in it, but I love it.  So much so that I bought a batt.  Here’s my 6 g sample all spun up, pre-bath to set the twist: pardon the awful picture

7 yds of awesome

I spun the “Giant Red Eye” by Moonlight & Laughter, a merino/tencel blend, and found that I really really didn’t like the way it felt.

More pictures and updates as more samples get spun!
