Spinning over at Woolly Wednesday - Spinspiration

Some of what I have spun recently.  I am working through my stash of various mostly European wool.
The lighter brown, coarser ball at the bottom is Russian Karakul.  The darker brown, softer at the top is Portuguese Merino.
I am halfway through spinning up some New Zealand merino and then I will move on to the German mountain sheep wool.
After that I have one more lot of French country sheep wool and then I am done with adding these wonderful wools to my stash.  All beautiful shades of browns, blacks, greys and whites.
Here's a picture of my mostly European wool stash so far.

I have linked up with this post to Woolly Wednesday over at Spinspiration - the spinning and fibre craft related blog, my friend Dawn and I share.  Please do pop over and link up with any fibre related crafting or just pop in to say hello and visit the links.  We leave the link up for quite a while so no hurry!

  4. Beautiful yarns. I have to admit, I've been meaning to spin my way through various wool books. You are inspiring me to keep that goal.
