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.<\/p>\n
I haven’t measured the yardage so fingers crossed.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
In other news I have been preparing some batts for the shop<\/a>, as well as\u00a0 some orifice hooks and some stitch\/row markers.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Sorry.<\/p>\n As a spoiler…<\/p>\n There are some Sock Batts Merino\/Nylon in colourway ‘Fire’, Ladybug orifice hooks, and simple stitch\/row markers in various colours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I died all the fibre earlier in the week.
