White Elephant

We got just a sprinkle of rain yesterday, but it did cool down into the eighties for awhile, so I decided to run the carder. Can't stand the heat long enough to start the dye pots so I spent several hours cleaning the ten drums on the carder. Every colored fiber must be picked out to keep it from contaminating the white roving. I had two nice white, cream or natural as it can be called by different spinners, already washed and dryed. One a BFL-Cotswold fleece that was creamy and the other a BFL that has a silkie handle and pretty much white. I'm off to Peachtree handspinner's guild meeting tomorrow and looks like it will be a white elephant sale this month.
