It's been a busy fiber week, lots of projects and experimentation. I did an extreme tail spin yarn with some of my baby lamb locks, it turned out soft and fluffy. I have two long strands which I ended up spinning and plying on my spindle, it was just too chubby to fit through the orifice on my wheel, even the jumbo orifice on the plying flier! I love how this spun up and I have been swaddling fluffy curly lengths of it round my neck as a scarf, it's so cozy warm and luxurious feeling!
Next up, some more tail spinning, I've done another PixieDust blend, and this time I spun in some of the lamb locks dyed in soft gorgeous shades of pink! (my favorite color) I'm tempted to keep this for myself, but it is destined for the shop. I know I'll be whipping up some more of this yarn, it was super fun to spin.
I started knitting this scribble scarf yesterday, using some of my hand spun coils and my gumball yarn. It knits up really fast, I'm using some of the pink mohair I received a while back from katie7, in the shawl exchange group on Ravelry, it's a perfect base yarn for this project!
Also on the to do list for this week was to make up little window boxes for the spin-ins I have listed in the shop. I'm loving how they turned out and they will keep the spin-ins tidy and safe until they reach their new homes.
Have a great weekend! Blessings Friends!

ReplyDeleteI posted a couple skeins I've spun today too; I've not tried coils yet, though. Fun!
ReplyDeleteFor real, the scribble scarf is so flippin' cool! I love your pieces. The colors just jump. Great!
ReplyDeleteThe shawl is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI still overthink the coils and also found that I really need to spin wool and not Alpaca when trying to make them.
Everything you post is so beautiful. I hope your Etsy sales are sensational.
love the colors on the coil yarn-also love that scribble scarf-gonna have to try making that one.
