Monday was spent packing for the trip to the spinnery tomorrow and back to school, I'm somewhat stressed but I think as sone as I know that my contact at the spinnery is on the same page as me, I can finally get my yarn and get it in a loom I think that will go away.

Today I hade a road trip to Östersund and the spinnery, My contact there and I talked a lot and compared different threads and after 30 or 40 minutes we were at an agreement that we will experiment with it then we do the test spinning, I say we as I will go up there agene and be there so we get it just right. So now they got 50kg of my wool and it feels great. My Batch will be the next or second to next they do so soon I got some thread. I also got something to aim for then I spin the 2kg of wool for some inlay for a weft on my warp-weighted loom. This cloth is for the ''door'' side of the tent. I will do it so I can get into the mind of the Viking women that did this over a thousand years ago and have something to compare the cloth from the floor loom too.

Today I have been down in the basement with the boys, we actually got blue this time. It's so exciting to get a blue colour from something that you have grown on your own, I will probably join them on there next blue Batch with some wool of my own. As for what I did today, I used the leftovers of the cochineal bath and did a 3ed bath in it to get a cotton candy pink colour that I'm going to weave into wadmal and make a kaftan with pink silk embroidery and fox fur.

Thursday and a week have soon past agene. This day had such beautiful weather that I have mostly just stayed outside and enjoyed the last kisses from the sun before the winter hits., I have however washed the pink wool and hung it to dry and started spinning on the spinning wheel to learn how to spin the inlay. I like this spinning weel much more than the one I had here last year, as I actually can make a thread and on top of that I'm satisfied with it too.

Then I woke up today I felt that I was to accomplish a lot today, but then one of my friends had a really bad day so I spent the day with her instead.
