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!

Love this!
ReplyDeleteYou 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.
ReplyDeleteHappy Fiber Arts Friday!

ReplyDeleteHow glorious!! I just made two scarves with some fabulous handspun art yarn that a friend gave me. I think you spinners have magic fingers!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I haven't ventured too far down the art yarn path yet, myself.
ReplyDeleteSuper Fabulous color and texture, absolutely love reds. Anxious to see what you do with it. A hat maybe?
