Spinning Around

A few days off and the spinning wheel has been on high rotation.
I finished (finally) 220grams of Treetops Merino (Hand Dyed - not by me) in the colourway Shanti.

A gorgeous mix of greens and violets. I have yet to measure it up but it has bloomed beautifully since I set the twist a nice fluffy 2 ply. Now to work out what to knit with it.

Within seconds of removing the Shanti yarn from the Bobbin I was on to spinning with Tussah Silk (I hand dyed it myself in Periwinkle) It is spinning finely with a gorgeous shine.

Monday Night...More Spinning and Some Yarn

So tonight i went Fibre Stash Diving and found this from Treetops Fibre. The colourway is called Shanti and I am trying to spin up what will eventually be stripes of Green and Purple. It's a little washed out (I am still working out the new camera).



The last of my 1/8 Wollmeise turned up on the Left Sabrina it's a little greener than the photo and on the right My Old Blue Jeans.

Spinning The Weekend Away

To satsify Miss Fee here is an action short of me plying some yarn today.

I managed to spin up two bobbins and am calling the colour Pink Zinc and Sunscreen (Merino/Soy) and then ply it onto a single Plying bobbin. I am having lots of fun with the new Wheel - Can you tell. I ended up with 553 Metres of Approx Fingering weight yarn. It is much more uneven than what I was spinning on the old wheel. But that will just take time getting to know here better.
