Fluffy and Soft
My most recent creation using baby alpaca tufts, silk, and Merino wool.More colorful yarn.
So . . . I made some more colorful yarn. This time I wanted the yarn to be super soft so it is made of fine merino wool, silk, alpaca, rose fiber, and bamboo.
Sometimes Alpaca and bamboo and Rose fiber are not super soft but this particular fiber is SUPER soft.
Though I haven’t had time to make anything with it yet, I’ve enjoyed envisioning what I’m going to make.
I am not a master spinner by any means but I would be willing to give lessons in what I do know. If anyone is interested please contact me.
Fiber and beads… How did they do this?
As I was cleaning up my work table I noticed that the beads were sticking to the little fluff a fiber that was sitting there. They are pretty well stuck and I have to pull them off. Very interesting!
Romney wool 2 ply yarn in fun colors!
I just finished these two hanks of yarn and I think they’re so fun!
Eye Candy Wool
I have been having so much fun! These colors were created by immersing the washed and dried wool fleece pieces into hot water with vinegar and food coloring dye. Then I added more dye in different places straight from the dye droppers or powders and pressed the intense colors into the wet wool in separate areas of the pot of wool and hot vinegared water! To make sure all the die was absorbed, I turned the heat on till it just almost simmered. After a bit (10 min to a half hour or so) I checked the water. Once the water was clear when I checked it, I knew that dye was completely absorbed.
I’m not one for careful calculations or measuring so this fits my personality perfectly!
These gorgeously colored fleeces will be incorporated into my felted wall art, scarves, or spun into exciting colored and textured yarns!
Eye Candy Yarn!!
I’ve been chomping at the bit to play with these colors and make some wild colored yarn. This is like candy to me.
I’m carding a few colors together, once or twice, for each rolag, alternating the colors I use, and then just spinning them up onto the bobbin. I plan to ply it and then it’ll be really wild!
