I’ve spent a few days recently on my spinning wheel. Here are my latest yarn-like creations:
Remember this? It was some of the Wensleydale/Silk roving I dyed recently – blogged here
It’s changed into a 2 ply, 15 w.p.i., 157m/100g – sport weight.
I finished the Faux Cashmere I mentioned last week.
It’s 18 w.p.i., 268m/100g.
I’ve finished the mate to the Teal Shetland – so it’s all ready for some fair isle mittens.
It’s a very pale green, BFL, 161m, 17 w.p.i. Not identical to it’s mate but close enough for the mittens.
I’ve also made a couple of mini skeins. The sparkle will hopefully become a Christmas tree decoration;
and the other two are the start of a larger lot of yarns for another fair isle project. The original idea was for some Bandelier socks, so the colours I have are similar but think I might use the same pattern and improvise something else. Don’t think I really want make a pair of socks I have to handwash at the moment!
