Silk Part Deux

So onward through the silk experience! Today we have rods, bells and cocoons! Oh my!

Silk Rods

Silk Bell



Cocoons!

After trying to spin the silk rods i here by declare that they aren't worth the time or the money spent on them! The silk bell was interesting to spin kind of like a cob web. The silk cocoons were just cool to say "yup, i did it". Plus they have the grossest little worm that you have to extract.



And...this is what i spun from the silk bell and the cocoons, not much, but it was fun!

Thank you Mr. Webster!

Purple armpit

Ok, funny and yet embarrassing story. I was sitting in a meeting this morning with two women. I was explaining something when i lifted my arms over my head, both of them burst out laughing.
" You have something purple in your armpit!" one of them exclaimed. Lifting my arm up again and peeking tentatively i noticed a purple haze. On closer examination i found it to be a piece of purple mohair that i was spinning last night. How i love fiber! i don't care if it is all over me!
