Various preparations

We cleaned up in the garage yesterday.  What a difference!  Now there's room again to wind warp in back of the loom.  I *could* have moved stuff to the side and done the warping, but it was much nicer to just be rid of the mess of things. 




I finally removed the thrums of the Cousin Towels warp while we were binding up cardboard boxes.  And then I swept underneath the loom, and it all looks pretty pristine again.  It's inviting me to warp!!


I also spent a week spinning worsted out of the Rambouillet/Romney blend combed top I got at the Winery Spinning Day last weekend.  I overtwisted the ply and then set the twist under tension, since I am planning to use this as a warp thread for a wool textile.  The weft will be z-spun woolen-spun singles, whose energy should bed nicely with the overplied s-plyed worsted warp.
