What a great creative spinning week! It’s funny how the time goes by and it feels like you haven’t done much until you stop and take a look.
First: I sold my first yarn!!!
Wheeeee! This was uber exciting!
Here’s a progress photo for the rest of the week:
1. 400 yards of singles. 70% wool, 30% silk.
2. Coreless tailspun yarn: 50 yards, local lamb locks and mohair locks
3. My best ever supercoils and the project from them.
All in all, a great week. How about you?
Spin on!
congratulations on selling your first hand spun! Yay!!!
I still haven’t gotten onto the band wagon of art yarns but I’m still just a beginner at spinning and knitting. At the moment I have a love affair going on with lace weight yarns, spinning and knitting with.
Have a wonderfully creative weekend…

Thanks Beth! You know, focusing on the “classics” with your yarn will give you a huge boost when you decide to try art yarns. It will make a lot more sense and you’ll be able to spin art yarn with intention..which is kinda awesome!
lovely yarn that you sold 🙂 well done!
Thank you so much!
Great news!
I spun beads into several skeins of yarns as my ‘art project’ – just to see if I could do it. It was intense. Getting things just right…wow…what a feeling!
Congradulations!!!
Awesome!! Did you do it during the plying phase?
Yes. It took a lot of thought to get the plying to work the way I wanted it to. There are a couple of ways to do it, I decided to use a matching thread for the beads. I posted a photo on my blog.
Wow – congratulations. I am really, really pleased for you. Is that top yarn? It looks really yummy. xx
It is! The middle is a bulky bouclé, and the two outsides are singles. All from the same batts I carded. Fun stuff!!
Tricky if you ask me!!!
