I spent a lot of my holiday spinning, although I should have been knitting, but hey, that's the constant battle for crafty time....I definately don't need another hobby!
Presenting Frankensquirrel!!
4 oz. of lovely Polwarth roving dyed by Sam!
Got spun into these...
Then 2 plied into this....
This stuff pouffed up like crazy....I lost almost 18 yrds from soaking, but it is so very soft!!
Still enough for it's intended project. It's my best 2-ply so far!! I still have a few thin and thicker areas, but way less than ever before!
Artsy-fartsy shot!
4 oz. Polwarth from GLBLF Spin a Long
wpi 12-13 sport/light worsted (pre-soak was 17)
yds 203 (pre-soak I got 222 yds)
Ready to become my first handspun socks! Stay tuned! Oh..darn, I'd better weigh and split the skein to be sure I have enough...later, right now I like looking at it just as is.
