Yesterday I was able to make this happen. This was the Falkland wool and let me tell you, it is a dream to spin. I was mixing it a bit with mohair, and it is fantastic. Mohair can be a bit of a mess, but if you manage it correctly it will give you a nice halo to the wool that you are spinning. I like mohair to spin, I guess it would be fantastic in the blends of Brown Sheep . They sell their mill ends and if you want to spin a great fiber, this would be a nice fiber to spin, I have not done it yet, but I can tell from the Lamb's Pride yarn, (from Brown Sheep), that I have used in projects, that it would be a good experience. Mohair is pretty and it has a long staple as well. So I am going to spin myself to the end of my fiber stash and it will be all published here, with a critique on each fiber.. So far Falkland and Jacob have a thumbs up in my book. Thanks for stopping by!
I am hoping that this blog will help you and me experience the craft of crochet as well as knitting. During times of silence or turmoil, crochet and knitting continuously help me quiet my mind at my own pace, enabling me to find my center. I am also sharing my SECRET persona, Lt. DAX, my life in code while living in Bajor. Maybe fiction maybe not is up to you to decide. Peldor Joi!!!

Jacob and Falkland spinning
This is Jacob's wool and even though is a bit rough to the touch is very soft after setting the twist to it. It is very easy to spin and drafts like a dream. One of the things that you have to learn about your spinning , is what kind of yarn is normal for you. It is hard for me to make a thick yarn, but I can make it by plying multiple strands. I really like the two ply, but the three ply is very handsome.![JacobWool (2)](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_t48JlRikhuc8rMuGSo2-0IEnHI2v7vpYGZKibI-FPfoxEsuwpFbmx5JxrQORqegdpQUpqTnUf4CLQbsE-8UYC2GAzZjVdFR2h2SUjv5615oJBOXI4s2zn0jpCNjz8vzp-YPQ=s0-d)
