Purple is one of my top 3 favorite colors & I love the tones in this one. It’s called Amethyst Mist and it’s available on BFL wool. This would make some gorgeous yarn!

One of the positive things about being not very good at spinning long draw is that when you do it, you concentrate on doing it... and that does not leave room for brain weasels to gnaw on bitter bits of the world's recent idiocies.

This is how much I can spin during a Mozart piano concerto, a Chopin prelude, and half of a Bruckner symphony. How did I not know about the Berlin Philharmonic digital tickets before? Day 29 of #100DaysStashdown

Unsure if this is a hot mess or charmingly irregular. The lumps of recycled silk add a challenge. Day... 27, I suppose. Fiber is from #TheWoolery

Mmmm, 3 ply. Day 21.

Opened a drawer and grabbed the first thing. Happened to be Polwarth. Broke into 3rds, planning a 3-ply. Nice gradient when spinning straight from the top. Day 15.

My #100DaysStashdown effort has already suffered some blips due to unexpected home maintenance emergencies. Last night I finished plying the blues. I wasn't very happy with it as it was going through my fingers. Too many irregularities and corkscrews. Soaked overnight and like magic the yarn hanging on the drying rack is quite pretty.
