All shades of grey

Still fascinated by the BFL. There are other things that I should be doing but I find this spinning hypnotic. So many subtle shades of grey in this BFL.

I tried to photograph my work. I did very badly. I’ll try again another day, when the light is better.

This blurry shot shows the colour variation best (because I shot in RAW and had flash turned off – long exposure and wobbly hands)

But this shot gives a better idea of how well my spinning is doing

and now I really must crack on with getting ready for Sunday, as I shan’t have much time, if any, to spare tomorrow. The sitting room is full of fibrous things… there’s no room to sit down. I haven’t been able to rule out very much as being of no interest for the craft exhibition.

  1. Wow, but that’s really looking good! I doubt you’re old enough to remember the old Virginia Slims commercial, but to quote it: “You’ve come a long way, baby!” :-) Seriously, you should be feeling good about what you’re doing.

  2. Lovely spinning, lovely coloured BFL -I’m not jealous!!!

  3. It looks so fine and so even!

    By the way – what is BFL?

  4. Rhonna, thank you ;-)

    I doubt you’re old enough to remember

    Oh, I wouldn’t bank on it!

    Claire – thank you.

    Carole – it’s getting there, though a long way from perfect as yet. I’m pleased with my progress.

    BFL = Blue Faced Leicester sheep – much prized for its fine fleece
