Maybe I should give it another try." This shot totally puts the nail in the coffin. So, so pretty! I'ma jump back in... do you have any tips about drafting? I couldn't seem to get it right.

I didn't discover it for centuries. I made me a red Fair Isle cardigan for those 100 inches of rain years we get some times and it sure does the trick. No better fleece than BFL. Glad you discovered it early and maybe you do want a wheel so you can make miles and miles of it. You've got the touch already if you can make BFL hang together on a drop spindle. Keep on keeping on.

And that lovely yarn! It will make a beautiful hat. It’s been raining all day here, so it’s nice to see blue skies, if only in photos. And that lovely yarn! It will make a beautiful hat.

I would be proud of such an accomplishment as well. Hope you can spin enough of that luscious color to make a hat. The color alone would keep your head warm.
