I hadn't spun anything for over a year and this was just the kick-start I needed to get myself back into it. Once I was finished I immediately dove into my fiber stash and found some Merino/Alpaca blend in a nice heather gray color that I bought years ago. I actually have a project in mind for that one. Stay tuned!
Wise men (and women) say that we are the creators of our reality. Here's an account of my creation, though it's mostly full of yarn and animals.

Back into the Spin
My latest crafty endeavor was some polworth fiber that I decided to spin up. I bought 4 oz of dyed fiber from Into The Whirled while I was at the NYS Sheep and Wool Festival in Rhinebeck this past year. I dare you to go to their site and not drool over the fibers! The colorway I purchased is called Brandywine and it took all my willpower to hold off on spinning it until after the holiday crafting was finished.
I don't actually have anything in mind for it at the moment. It's heavy worsted or even bulky weight yarn, but it's luscious and beautiful and destined for something warm and soft.

Oh, it's gorgeous! I love the colors! I always gravitate towards greens and purples!
ReplyDeleteI still haven't learned to spin, although I have a wheel in my garage and all that fiber I bought back in 2007!
ReplyDeleteHa! Looks like you have everything you need! You should dust it off in some your spare time!
