A Guild to Enjoy

Saturday afternoon my sister and I went to a handspinning guild and had one of the funnest times of my spinning life. There were quite a few ladies (and gentlemen!), and there must have been at least ten wheels. For the first part of the meeting we all just hung out and spun! I’m so glad I brought one of my drop spindles, otherwise it would have been rather boring. No, I take that back. I would probably have been able to step outside my comfort zone and go ask the ladies to show me how to do stuff.

Another Night Of Dyeing

My aunt bought me 220 yards of worsted weight (at least I thought it was worsted weight. Closer investigation revealed it to be much closer to sport weight), Superwash Merino before she left, and I just finished dyeing it. (And some washed wool that happened to fall into a pot.)

Pink and Blue Merino

The colors turned out much brighter than I thought it would, but I like it. This was made using the colors Sky Blue and Pink. We got the yarn at The Yarn Garden. A very nice shop.

Then I wanted to do the wool in brown, tan, cream, and turquoise.
