Spinning Tuesdays: Getting Started on Spinning Goals

I'm getting right on my 2012 spinning goals by choosing fiber – that's the best part isn't it?

I've chosen this to start making friends with worsted spinning.

Spunky Eclectic Peace On Earth

A club fiber from Spunky Eclectic, South African Fine in the colorway Peace on Earth. I'm going for a 2 ply, DK or a little fatter.

 

For sweater knitting I have this

Southern Cross Fibre Dirt

Southern Cross Fibre Falkland, colorway Dirt. I'm going to spin a woolen 2-ply, with probably a little extra ply twist.

I've even started sample spinning

Southern Cross Fibre Falkland

It's looking a little too contrasty for me, but I'm going to spin more, a little finer and knit swatches.

 

How are your goals coming?
