finishing up
The last Saturday of the month is our local spin in. November's produced bobbin "A". At December's I spun bobbin "B". What can I say, there wasn't any time in between. Using more than a few 10 Minutes a Day sessions, I emptied those bobbins in time for the new year.
365 yards / 3.5 oz.
alpaca / merino / silk
from Freckle Face Fibers on EtsyI'd split the roving down the middle. It didn't match up, but I knew in advance it wouldn't / couldn't. The fiber had been dyed randomly, and colors weren't the same even across the stripped roving. I decided to spin it from the fold, long draw. It went very quickly.
I was planning on a pair of new fingerless mitts but hate to end up with so much left over. Perhaps the Morning Surf Scarf.9 responses to “finishing up”

Those are my colors!
I think the morningsurf scarf would be perfect. -
Your handspun would make a beautiful Morning Surf Scarf or a Foggy Seas Scarf.

Lovely stuff! Vendor?
Hope you had a good New Year’s celebration. -
I just love those colours – I have something similar – perhaps just a touch deeper – on the wheel at the moment… we shall not speak about how long it has been there LOL

That is some beautiful yarn!
Those colors look like the morning surf! -
Beautiful! I love the colors. I have a couple of 4-oz rovings from her as well and she does a really beautiful job with the colorways.

You do put a pretty spin on fiber!

I think a Morning Surf scar will be lovely and I agree, I always try to use up all my handspun in one project!

Yummy! Gorgeous!

You have a gorgeous model behind the camera!
Love the color!
I think you’re beautiful but I understand. That’s why I have Hannah model my stuff so much!
You could model and I could take pics of you! That would be perfect!
I second Cheryl, Carole and Kathy! Hmmm….. I have a skein of your Kashmir hanging around somewhere! Perfect choice.
Weren’t we talking about that the other night? Ha ha….
You are young and beautiful – so go have some pictures taken of yourself in that beautiful cowl!
I agree with everyone else. You’re your own best model!
You do just fine. Few have your style and panache. (And that is a beautiful color!)
Ha- look in the mirror!
It’s beautiful.
Are you going to have more kashmir in the future?
