How to finish your singles yarn....
First you gently soak if for a few brief moments of time in some lavender-scented wash. Then you lovingly envelope the skein in the finest Egyptian cotton cloth, soaking up the excess water with the tenderest of caresses. Then, having paused for a few heartbeats of time, you grab it by the throat, thwack it soundly against the bath until it begs for mercy, before stretching it on the rack.

Bet that felt good! lol Can't wait to see it skeined up.
I wish I had read this before I hung my singles, I don't think I whacked them hard enough!
Must go rescue them actually, left them outside to dry and its now cold and dark, oops......
Bet that was very cathartic!
Is that the same stuff India is spinning from? x K
My last post was weird, being that you ARE India and all.
I thought for a mo I was on Tigerlilith, which would kind of make sense in my own mind because Tigerlilith's ma brought you the roving and I thought she gave some to her daughter too.
Goodnight, I think I need a LONG sleep. xxx K
Ahhh, OK!
I feel you may have missed your calling as Chief Torturer somewhere along the line! Gentle caresses then whop! I can't wait to see what it knits up into!
