Yay dry wool!
The pictures I took mid process seem to have disapeared off my mem card (that’s what you get for using a camera with memory card thats 8yrs old and has probably exceeded its max write cycles!).
So here are the pictures of the finished yarn cakes.
In the next picture hopefully you can see the 2tone 2ply for the main colour, and the variagation in the grass green and sky blue.
At last I can cast on!
I died all the fibre earlier in the week.
I spun the singles, have of each colour first, then the second colour, to help improve consistency. Then plied and skeined it all. I have washed and finished it all, but now have to wait for it to dry before I can wind it into balls.
I haven’t measured the yardage so fingers crossed.
I choose lilac solid and mauve/purple with some variation, for the main colour, I have made a 2 tone 2 ply yarn with it, and am really pleased with how its come out. As long as there is enough, as I doubt I would be able to make a good dye repeat of this.
In other news I have been preparing some batts for the shop, as well as some orifice hooks and some stitch/row markers. I had planned to do an update this afternoon, but have run out of steam, so it will either be mid week, or next weekend. Sorry.
As a spoiler…
There are some Sock Batts Merino/Nylon in colourway ‘Fire’, Ladybug orifice hooks, and simple stitch/row markers in various colours.
