This was spindle spun with my Icelandic birch spindle I bought on a visit to Thingborg in Iceland. The wool was a birthday gift from Mikey. I ended up with 5 skeins of white, 4 skeins each of the grays, and 1 skein of the black for a total of 876 yards.

| Deb Peterson's "Kitchen Sink" fiber that came off the drum turned into beautiful yarn. I spun this with the bottom whorl spindle that Rob made. Deb owns Ewespun Fiber Mill at Old Man Wool Farm. |

| On the Cricket, the Pontunic front panels. One of the threads broke and I had to add another piece. This one is going slowly because I haven't been taking this loom to AFW for Weaving Wednesday. |

| On Hank are the scarves for Jim and Ben. The warp is Harrisville Shetland in foliage and the weft is some tweed I picked up in Cashel, Ireland. I like the broken twill pattern. Things clicked into place with learning how to read the pattern and understand the tie-up for the treadles. I have to decide whether to change the weft yarn for the second scarf. |
