So, I'm working my way into getting a feel for processing and spinning merino.

It is a huge pain in the ass to clean. I bought ten pounds of white merino fleece. It's pretty clean, not a lot of vegetable matter but it's SUPER greasy!

I had an okay day today flying back home from Houston. I was up front in first class; so, I had lots of room and free booze.

Well, I got a ton of knitting done while sitting at the hospital keeping mom company. However, I realized, several inches later that I had put one of the gussets in the wrong spot.

To all of the spinners out there, how do you determine, while you are plying, that you have a balanced yarn? I know that there has to be a way.
Thanks

School is out and summer still has not arrived here in the Pacific Northwest. People have been calling this month Junuary. It was a sweltering 59 degrees yesterday.


Well, the last puppy is on a plane to Canada tonight. We kept one of the boys but it's still a little bittersweet not having a ton of puppy cuteness around the house.
