Today was full

I was working on my spinning for a new shawl when I heard a racket outside. I thought maybe the squirrels were at it, but no. We have a bucket (kitty liter pail) at the bottom of a downspout to catch rainwater for the garden. Well if there wasn't 6 or more birds having a communal bath all at the same time. Mrs. Cardinal, the Mourning Dove, and a few sparrows, possibly the wrens. They were having a great time. I couldn't help but think of the Roman baths. Although I don't think Romans splash that much. Wish that I had a picture. Anyway, the Hint of Provence Shawl is off the loom and blocked. I'm hoping to get some better pictures tomorrow for the etsy store.



So I'm slowly working my way through the fleece to reduce the quantity in the house. I had spun some earlier this year. And I got about 2.5 ounces done today. This is from a half a dozen different kinds of sheep. Some superwash merino, dorset, romney, and mixed breeds. Mostly Dorset and Superwash. Dorset spins lumpy. It adds a rustic texture which I like. I am not a machine. If I wanted to use something that looks like it was machine made, I'd have bought some. So I have some great color and texture going on. But I need a name for this yarn. What does it remind you of?
