I just wanted to show what I’ve been spinning; a lovely soft merino top of natural gray that is such a beautiful color, it is almost blue. I’ve had it in my stash for years — so long, I had started to spin it on a lace weight drop spindle when we lived in Virginia in 1995 (Ack!) and we would go to Floyd on Friday or Saturday nights to listen to blue grass music and watch the locals do flat bottom dancing. It was held in a small general store with great ice cream and standing room only. I would stand and spin while we listened and watched. Does that still go on there? I also used to attend a very artsy quilt guild there in an old church, it was a great group!

I digress.

This will be plied with the pink and blue-gray singles I’ve just finished spinning.
