I've been doing a lot of spinning lately. The evenings have started to cool and it's a great way to unwind and relax and clear my mind. Not to mention the bonus of having lots of beautiful hand spun wool to crochet with!
The fibre is a Silk/Merino blend, Navajo plied, soft and silky, delicious to touch. Navajo ply is one strand chain plied ending up as three strands plied together. Great if you want to keep colour blends or gradients true, but also great if you have just a small amount of fibre spun. I often ply any remainder fibre on my bobbins this way to keep my bobbins empty.
I love the colours that seem to blend in with colours in my garden at the moment. The colourway is Johnathon dyed by Fibre2go.
Have you made anything lately? I'd love to see what you've been making so leave a link in the comments if you'd like to share?

ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful coloured yarn - what will you make with it. My Nan used to spin and weave, I remember trying to spin as a child - it was never very successful mind you.
