4th Of July Weekend in the Park

This is Lyn showing us how to mix different colors of yarn for roving to spin. After she added all the colors she wanted she took a bottle cap (off her milk bottle in which she had drilled a hole) and just pulled a small twist of the fibers through the hole in the middle of the cap, sliding the cap up the fibers. She started from one side and went to the other and ended up with a long length ready to spin into yarn. Do I have that right Lyn?

  1. I think that we need to put our names on our posts for that everyone will know who is posting. There is probably a way to make them show but I don't know what it is.
