craftgrrl | Yarn/dyeing from the past week

3.6 ounces, and 50 yards. To make this yarn I dyed two colors of wool--one light grey, the other charcoal gray. I spun all of the wool, and the result was two single plies of similar colored yarn (one bright and vivid, the other very deep and more subdued), which I then plied together. This is a very thick yarn.

3.3 ounces of bright green, teal, purple, and blue thick and thin yarn. There's about 85 yards here, and the yarn is very very soft. I'd guess that larger knitting needles--13s or 15s would be best for this yarn. The WPI is about 5-7.

152 grams or 5.4 ounces. There's around 64 yards in this skein of yarn. It is extra thick, and the colors include blue, green, purple, and grey. One ply is green, blue, and purple, the other is just green and blue. The wool was originally a charcoal color, so the colors are very deep and dark. They look quite interesting plied together.

2.7 ounces of bright green, teal, purple, pink, and blue yarn. There's about 75 yards in this skein of yarn. It's incredibly soft, and the colors are very bright and vivid.

This is a very ugly skein of yarn. It was leftover roving from the other two purple/blue/grey skeins posted above...heh, if anyone ends up buying them eventually, i'll probably end up throwing this in with it.

My poor spinning wheel has gotten quite a workout this week. I've been spinning for about 7 hours a day, each day. The other night I almost got sick because I'd been watching the flyer spin around too much...very very dizzy-making.
