Something to spin . . .

I went up to "The Fold" in Marengo, IL to purchase some roving to spin.

Toni has so much stock there, yarns, wheels, roving, and more.

 I had one specific dyed roving in mind, but really liked a merino/silk blend even more. She has a huge inventory and I had fun checking out all of it! My granddaughter and DIL came too, and really enjoyed it.
This is the roving that I chose. I'm going to spin it up for warp to weave a ruana.

I've also ordered linen yarn from the Yarn Barn in Kansas to start on the transparencies. I have lots of wool to use for the inlay and will also use some specialty yarns for accents. As soon as that arrives, I can warp up the David and get started!
