Finished spinning the singles and now need to ply. Sheridan Flats Spinning: Purchased 24 oz of 80/15/6 wool/mohair/silk roving in the colorway Kaleidoscope. The owner said to spin at a worsted weight for best results. Mill is Olympic Yarn & Fiber located in Cosmopolis, WA. Plied three singles but somehow I over plied it.  Silver Bags: Sewing bags with pacific cloth to protect silver. Sounds posh. 😉Experimenting with the embroidery feature on Bernina to make a label to identify contents. Patio Furniture Pads: I have finished four round cushions for metal chairs and the cover for the chaise lounge pad. I removed the fabric from the wood folding chairs and washed them with TSP. Next is to sand, prime and final paint color. I save the fabric from one chair to use as a pattern.  Weaving Studio: It's a work in progress.  Garden Redesign: I've created a project page. More plants and "finalize' design fence on deck and railing Kelly's Projects Still working on Boxy with spirit yarn (Shibui Pebble).  Finished the Tablet (card) weaving for Pride Month: Made a dog collar and two key chains for my sisters-in-law.  Finished spinning the naturally dyed wool from last fall. Robert thought I might get green with tomato leaves and wanted me to try. I used alum mordant on some of my white Shetland that I've been natural dyeing. Got a very dirty looking light grey beige . Merino, silk, and flax palate cleanser skein. Hipstrings fiber, Alpine Spring colorway. About worsted to aran weight. Spun the box of merino silk batts that we carded right before NoCKRs. I didn't quite get three bobbins so I picked and carded more merino and I'm making more merino silk batts.  Fleece washing continues. Did a hot wash of about half the Corriedale that came out of the suint bath.  Events Summer Spin-In now through September 7th (Labor Day) Tour de Fleece July 4th- July 26th Newbury School of Weaving: July 18-31, 2026
