The craft du jour seems to be spinning. Allow me to share the fruits of my labor.
I participated in a challenge where you had to take an inspiration picture:
Then dye fiber:
Turn said fiber into batts or rolags:
Spin your singles:
Then ply your singles (I used n-ply):
Then finally admire your hard work:
The color is a bit washed out on the final yarn shot. The singles/ply is the true color.
I got worsted weight and about 265 yards out of 5 oz. of fiber.
Not sure what I'm going to do with it, but scarf seems to come to mind.
In the meantime, I got some roving from Fat Cat Knits called "The Sky's the Limit". I had 2 braids that were just a little bit different.
I spun each separately, then I'm going to spin a solid roving (one terra cotta - one dark Prussian blue) to have two distinct yarns. Can you say two-color shawl?!!?
Need to get better at keeping up. If work (and life) would just mellow out for a bit...
