But if I keep coming up with excuses, it&#8217;s never going to happen.<\/p>\n<p>My overall goals for this are:<\/p>\n<p>1. Spin every day for 100 days<\/p>\n<p>2. Try techniques that are not the short forward draw<\/p>\n<p>3. Try different fibers and not always combed top fiber<\/p>\n<p>4. Actually use what I spin<\/p>\n<p>So, today I&#8217;ve spun most of this:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/knittedinswitzerland.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/img_3516.jpg\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1699 size-full\" height=\"3024\" width=\"4032\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knittedinswitzerland.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/img_3516.jpg 4032w, https:\/\/knittedinswitzerland.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/img_3516-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/knittedinswitzerland.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/img_3516-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/knittedinswitzerland.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/img_3516-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 4032px) 100vw, 4032px\" \/>It&#8217;s Falkland wool from Wolff &amp; Schafe and has been on my wheel since forever.
