Beautiful, bulky-chunky handspun....my favorite to spin! This batch is almost done...today I've spun the blue (for the sky) and will be plying it tonight. And I'm dyeing small batches of wool in red, orange and yellow to be blended lightly and spun. The yarn will be mailed to Debra to be woven into a shawl on a large triangle loom.
Crazy yarn spun from a blend of leftovers...all the bits of wool and alpaca leftover from previous blending projects. Because of the wool content, it's not as soft as I would like, so I will probably knit this into slippers for Kendall...to wear over her socks. Can't wait to see how it looks knit!!
I first dyed some beautiful Tunis X wool yellow...a bright, sunshine yellow, then added turquoise to the leftover dye bath. The roving on the right is the resulting color. Then in the following leftover dye bath, I added hunter green...the roving on the right was white and the chunky yarn was a light peach.
The rovings will be blended, spun and knit into scarves or another winter accessory to be sold! If you are interested in these colors or have another color in mind, email me and we'll see what we can work out!!
