Totally weak. I started spinning for my Aeolian shawl last night. Here’s what more than two hours of spinning yields:
Not much to look at is it? It is, however, a start.
Here’s a view of the sample:
I’m aiming for a laceweight of 40+ WPI once it is plied so this is going to take a while, but I am dedicating almost all of my spinning time towards it. I’ll post another progress photo once you can’t see the bobbin core.

Oooh, a very fine yarn! Filling a bobbin with laceweight does take forever doesn’t it, but it’ll be totally worth it, especially with that beautiful silk :)

Oh my – and that’s 2 hours work at a 20:1 ratio and your treadling speed…? You must be spinning gossamer. It’s looking beautiful though so I’m looking forward to seeing it.
