Yarnalicious
Feb. 20th, 2005 12:26 pmAhhh, FINALLY! I got my issues worked out my new spinning wheel and last night produced this:
"Sunny Day" My first wheel-spun skein! It's thick and thin merino wool dyed in yellow and orange with random rainbow stripes; 53 yards, 168 ft.

more yarn lies within
Also, these are ones I made this week with my hand-spindle:
"Rocket Punch" Lofty orange merino wool plied with recycled 2-ply 3-color yarn; 23 yards, 67 ft.

"Sunset Sparkler" Lofty merino dyed in pinks, lavender and chestnut plied with glittery gold thread; 39 yards, 117 ft.

"Bubble Fun" ; Soft and cuddly pink and lavender wool plied with iridescent thread; 52 yards, 162 ft.

I'm dyeing more wool now and I'm just outta control with the spinning. Somebody stop me. Actually don't. I like it, I just must remember to eat and sleep :)
