Almost all spun up…
Just before I left for Japan, I finished two more skeins of Koolaid yarn — the first is some spindle-spun singles (the first few yards are noticeably more slubby than the last few!) and the second is some grape and strawberry two-ply.
When I got back this Saturday, I found my lovely new Woolee Winder (plus four bobbins) waiting for me! I love it! It’s helped me spin up ALL the plummy fall coloured roving and ply it all — efficiently using all the space on the bobbin. I’ll set the twist on these yarns tonight!
You spun up some georgeous yarn!
I enjoy reading your entries. You have a lovely site and create incredible works.
Thank you for sharing it with the world of web.
See? That’s precisely why I want one. My birthday’s only a few weeks away: I hope the hubby got the HUGE freakin’ hint I dropped. (I can’t believe I just called him “hubby”).
I think the yarns you have spun up recently are just beautiful and I can’t wait to see what the plummy colors look like when they are done. You make me want to learn to spin!
Wow, those skeins came out awesome! What are you going to make with the KoolAid yarn?!
Nice to “read” (see) you back ! Missed you ! Wow, even though you were on holidays, you kept really busy… What are those Chibis ???? Saw this on Four Seasons Knitting and was wondering what they were ?
Love the kool-aid handspun, Felicia! It is beautiful–it appears to come out a lot different when you dye the roving like you did… I really love the results.
Take care, and glad to see you back!
Love the bright colors! Have you played with different fibers yet? I recently had a spin-in with a couple other bloggers and went nuts with some sample bags of stuff like cashmere, yak, camel, alpaca, pygora, angora, (camel is my favorite) as well as different wool blends too.
Your hand spun yarns are just beautiful! Love the purple shawl. Your Lucky looks great.. I just started mine…hopefully it will move quickly.
