A new year. A time for new projects. In other words, pulling out the bags of alpaca fleece and diving into them. Look at them. Sitting there in that basket. Calling.
Cinnamon Bliss
What this means is that you take a lock of fleece and bend it over your left forefinger so the tip end and the cut end are even. So it’s in sort of an inverted “U” position with your finger running up the middle.
The Completed Rebecca Yarn
Once again I didn’t get this up last night. I have an excuse, though! I was busy plying this wonderful skein of sock yarn.
Four-Ply Sock Yarn
Gawain is done! I absolutely love it when the seemingly endless thread you’ve been working on for the past who-knows-how-long comes together and makes yarn. It’s amazing.
That makes three things checked off my list. No, four. Well, I guess three. Gawain sock yarn, the lumpy yarn, the sparkly black stuff, and if you want to count it separately, this little skein from the leftover turquoise.
It looks like I’ve spun the necessary five and a half ounces today. One ounce of which finished up the Gawain batt! I now have five spools full of it. And that means that the wheel is freed up for either spinning the Rebecca wool, or plying the Gawain.
The First Finished Project!
Waves of Fiber
I’ve been having lots of fun spinning up the Gawain batt. The colors are turning out gorgeously!
The Sanguine Gryphon has lots of beautiful stuff. But this particular batt told me I was taking it home. No arguments.
