Bring it on Ol’ Man Winter… I’m ready.  As the days grow shorter and the trees burst with their autumn splendour, my thoughts are invariably turning to the approaching winter.

In my part of the northern hemisphere it’s dark when I get home from work in the late afternoon and it’s dark when I leave the house in the morning.  For weeks on end it’s too cold to go outside for any length of time.

So how do we pass those long hours indoors?It’s a perfect opportunity for knitters and spinners to indulge their fibre obsessions with wild abandon.

Merino/Soysilk Blend Roving

My winter spinning supply arrived last week via Canada Post from Belfast Mini Mills in Prince Edward Island. http://www.minimills.net/I won’t go so far as to say “I’m looking forward to winter” but cozy evenings at home with my spinning wheel and this beautiful fibre don’t sound so bad.
