All Wound Up
Mr Awesome put in a good shift with the swift and ball winder yesterday to get my handspun yarn into a ready-to use state for a project. I’m starting to be drawn towards deciding on a bag, but I want something that will best make use of the colours, and I’m wondering whether to go with a radial pattern of some kind. Maybe a simple circle with a fabric reverse, or a square or hexagonal radial bag.
The yarn ended up being approximately worsted weight, at an eyed guess, and 150g/340m, so just over 110m per 50g in it’s finished 2-ply construction. It’s quite a grabby yarn and would probably work well for steeking, so that is another possible feature for a finished project to take into consideration. Somehow it’s now even harder to decide upon a project for a particular yarn when I’ve put the time into creating that yarn.
Such gorgeous yarn. I can see why it would be hard to know what to do with it, having put so much time into creating it, the project has to be perfect
OMGosh! The final outcomes is so dang neat. Did you dye that too or just spun it up?
Those colours are lovely!
Wow, I love that yarn. So gorgeous. I’ve been wanting to try to spin a striping yarn like that but it looks like a quite daunting task.
I am in love. Those colors are a dream! How in the world did you do that?
