Spinning a Yarn-and.....

Suddenly,  this craving to spin some yarn overtook me.  I had bought some white bamboo fiber with thoughts of dyeing it.  The craving said "spin it!"  So I started spinning it.  Then the craving said, "You have some fun colored silk fibers in your stash - it will go so well with this."
Hmmm... to the bin I go, digging around. YES! there are three bags of it - and two of them are multi-colored. So I spun for a while.  Then I wound the thread off onto weaving bobbins.
Ooooh SHINY - and pretty too.

Both bamboo and silk are very soft and have a lovely sheen.  They almost glow with an internal light.

Hey, I have a piece that I am weaving --and this will work great with the cotton in it. In what seemed like moments, the three lovely bobbins were empty.  (it was longer than moments, but when you are in "the zone" - time loses meaning.)
WOW!  Look how it looks in my weaving.

It has lovely random color changes going across. This really plays nicely with the stripes in the warp.
Here is a close-up.

I have a feeling, I will be doing this more often.
