decide to wish you Thanks. Eugene 
Romney
This is a very unexciting spinning project in a very unexciting color. However, I’m plodding through fairly well because it’s an easy quick spin. I bought this Romney fiber a few months back to give this new fiber a try, and I have a feeling this isn’t what Romney is generally like. It’s not smooth to spin, but it seems like the roving is just not prepped very well. Things are coming off in clumps sometimes, and it’s not drafting smoothly. I’m willing to give this fiber the benefit of the doubt, but if this is what it’s always like I don’t like it so much.
I’m still practically drowning in merino, which is unfortunate because I’ve learned it’s not the type of yarn I want to have spun. I love spinning merino, but there are only a few uses for it. I’m trying to branch out into other fibers that are useful for other stuff, and this Romney doesn’t have me enthusiastic about the process.
Cashmere, on the other hand, is something I can get excited about. I prefer to avoid this fiber because of how harsh raising the goats is on the land, and it’s just too expensive buuut…I had to try it just this once. I was spinning it more thick on a heavier spindle before I decided to switch to something more suitable (my Bosworth!). This is one single, which will be 2-plied with the other single when I’m done to give me an oh so soft and squooshy yarn. Ohh, what will I make with it?
