Just in time for the thick summer glove season.
I only have to sew in the ends and tighten up loose stitches and wash and block them!
Not at all what I set out to make at the beginning. I'm ok with that.
I recently finished this gorgeous (if I do say so myself) spin of a Polwarth/Silk blend from Fossil Fibers Cephalopoda series. I think it’s destined to be a shawl or a hat, probably combined with another yarn because this is only 174 yds. #handSpinning #textilearts #FiberArts this is the one I was referring to in my earlier comment thread with @madgeface
I’m also super pleased that my attempts
as spinner thicker yarn were successful. I’m doing thin again now.
I starting spinning a merino/tencel blend braid - it’s part of a Cephelopoda subscription from Fossil Fibers called Chambered Nautilus. I’m aiming for a nice 3 ply yarn. I was thinking the tencel would make it nice and strong for a woven bag, but then I realized it would also make great socks. I can’t post pics in a post with a poll so see first comment.
What should i make with this yarn when it’s ready?
I've been busy with some fiber arts while waiting for the weather to finish warming up for gardening season. I'm finally most of the way through this Gulf Coast Native fleece (a whole fleece - that's a lot of wool!) that I dyed with butternut hulls and coffee. It feels like it's taking forever, since I only have time to work on it every now and then. I'm looking forward to starting on the knitting-a-sweater phase of the project.
When the chaos gets too hard to cope with, Evie offers a respite. I feel my whole body relax, and my mind quiets and accepts the gentle flow of history, craft, and wool.
