Walking and Spinning { not at the same time :-) }

After yesterday's deluge of rain this morning was glorious so me and Papa Bear had a lovely walk along our favourite railway walk .According to folklore if there's a lot of berries on the bushes and trees in Autumn it's going to be a hard Winter. Judging by the amount of hips , haws etc on the bushes along this walk the saying could be true. They are all heavy with fruit like these haws on the Hawthorn bush

This Rowan was green a couple of weeks ago .

Coming out into the sunshine.

This was taken coming back and is the other side of the first pic of the walk .

The postie brought this ,this morning. It's a Jumbo Flyer for my spinning wheel . as the name suggests it's big . The bobbins can hold up to 200grms of yarn . Now i can ply 100 grms instead of just 50.

See the difference . The bobbin on the left is a standard one . Papa Bear fitted it to my wheel.

These are the singles on the Lazy Kate ready for plying .

Coming along nicely.

Two hours later. 100grms /318 yds of Hand Dyed ,Hand Spun , Blue Faced Leicester.

I am well chuffed . Being able to ply 100grms all at once saves a bit of time . All I have to do is spin 50grms of each of the colours I want to ply and away I go .

I truly love spinning . It's so relaxing and I just drift off into a world of my own .
