On the Bobbin


I did a little core/tail spin this week, it's a different color palette than is typical for me, I'm pleased with how it turned out. There is a lot of texture going on, gotta love texture!


Here's my pre-spin palette, Wensleydale locks, Corriedale, Finn, Mohair, a couple shades of recycled sari silk and some corresponding bling.


And here's my finished skein after a day of resting on the bobbin, it's now having a little tubby to set the twist. I sure had fun with this, I custom dyed all the fiber for this color palette (except the sari and angelina of course) Rich reds, silver, gray, black, bronze...I love color, don't you?

Have a great weekend! Blessings Friends!

  1. You are a rock star! I love your yarn! I do love when you post the photo of the fiber before you spin too. It really shows the transformation and the change in color once spun.

    Happy Fiber Arts Friday!

  10. I think this yarn is beautiful as is. No need to knit it. Just place it on a pedestal in the center of your living room! Awesome colors, awsomely spun!
