Here are photos which go with some of the spinning I described.
This is my first attempt at 6 wpi (wraps per inch), then 8 wpi, then the pencil roving at 10 wpi.
And my latest attempt on the spindle which is even finer.
Here's the massive wheel of roving I got as a gift.
Here's the first half of the Fir Cone pattern scarf I'm working on for the shop.
