Brilliant Blue Yarn is on the Way – Kildare Yarns

Der Unterschied zwischen der geschmeidigen Spätfaser zur derben Grünfaser macht sich deutlich bemerkbar. Die graue Faser lässt sich viel dünner ausspinnen, im Schnitt auf etwa 1/2 mm Breite. Die grüne Faser hat dafür mehr Charakter.

Konversation unlängst bei einem Stricktreffen, ich mit meiner Handspindel (wie so oft in letzter Zeit 😎 ):

Spricht mich einer vom Nebentisch an:
„Sorry, wir sind neugierig und wollten fragen, was das eigentlich ist…?!“

Die ganze Runde im Chor: „Eine Handspindel!“
Ich: „Sozusagen die Vorstufe zum Stricken.“
Kollegin: „Sie spinnt!“
Ich: „Also wortwörtlich!“

😊

Multicolor Handspun Wool Yarn – Kildare Yarns

My next wall hanging on the bobbin. Measuring and washing up next. #Handwoven #handcrafted #handspun
Balling up this #handspun #wool #yarn on me nostepinne. Think I'm going to make myself #crochet something...🤔 #FiberArts
Juicy... Done, except for measuring and wet finishing. The way the colors stacked surprised me. There were what I though was vast expanses of pale, almost white lavender and I was afraid that they'd all end up plied together making long whitish blobs, but no! #spinning #handspun #LSG

Here is the finished blue-green 💙💚🧶 #yarn. I'm pleased with it. 😌 Pretty sure I can call it DK weight.

Migraine/eye grumbles are settling in with the warm spike means I am finding it very hard to concentrate on editing.

So, Feb craft update published, recipe written up for patrons. And a little bit of work done.

Then off screens, all the sock left-overs rewound and boxed. Running away from wheel as the drive band needs replacing, and the espinner requires far too much concentration.

Maybe knitting will need less from the eyes. And tea. 'Cos ... tea.

@a_puma01 3d printed me a tiny Turkish drop spindle and I'm making tiny Shetland yarn with roo'd fleece from a nearby farm. This sheep's name is Lady Sibyl :)
