This one is a pink Merino, aqua Scottish black face, grey Leicester X blend (sorry crappy pic)

I love seeing everyone's yarn!

As I was reading this, I thought "if i had a wooden wheel to finish I would make it purple!", then I clicked on your pictures 

That is soooooo awesome!! I want a Kromski Mazurka, they are such pretty wheels and in purple, would be totally ace!

This stuff feels like a cross between linen and bamboo, kinda silky and kinda tuff. I just got some of this out of curiosity. I am just beginning to venture into plant fibers. Just tried my first bamboo and also bought some cotton sliver. Just curious of anyone else has tried this fiber. I don't know what i will make out of it.

It's a beautiful wheel! 3 in 1 oil works good too. I started using that since I couldn't find sewing machine oil. DON'T put olive oil on it, that will get nasty eventually.

YAY! I'm dancing around for you! I remember the feeling 

I think i really want a delta flyer. I have the problem with the hooks catching when i spin things super woolen (which i like to do alot). But I think i have to save up for the drum carder first then wheel accesories. what an addiction, and now its shearing season...

LOL i had to stop and ask myself the same question, i'm 29. I still think i'm young 

are you still looking for people to interview?

I am saving up (this is a huge investment!) for my first Drum Carder and am wondering what people have to say about the one they have etc. I'm looking for something that can take alot of use and handle a wide variety of fibers from both roving and fleece. I'm thinking of getting a Fancy Kitty Fine carder or a Strauch Petite.

I would love to hear people's experiences since there are people on the boards carding up beautiful batts 

Yummy batts!
What type of drum carder do you use? I'm looking to get one and love to hear people's opinions of theirs.

Nice !! what type of carder do you have?
