Our Summer Spin In is underway and we talk about our plans for spinning over the summer. What will you be spinning? We announce the winners of our Out-of-Hibernation-Along. Plus, it's the Two Ewes, so you know there’ll be a rant or two and we'll get off topic!

2+ ounces of Polwarth and silk and 1+ ounce of merino spirit fiber spun and plied. Plied them together and then plied the rest of the Polwarth/silk on itself. Lace Weight 2-ply and a nice quick spin.
2+ ounces of a Lincoln cross from spirit fiber. 2-ply to add to my rug yarn stash.
