Spinning everything in sight! I've been busy at my wheel lately spinning up some luscious fiber.
Check out my latest finished yarns:
Mama-E's Merino Tencel blend in a gorgeous pinky brown color (I think it's called Toffee)
I spun up about 200 yards of fingering weight from the 4 ounce roving.
Crown Mountain Fiber roving in the Wild Thing colorway. Aren't the colors amazing!! Thanks for sending it to me Sarah!
I got about 180 yards of fingering weight yarn from 4 ounces.
And finally, another gift - this time from Jolene - some Gypsy Girl roving.
I ended up with about 280 yards of bulky worsted weight yarn from 8 ounces.
I can't wait to knit something with these! Does anyone have any ideas on what I can make with these? I really want to highlight the yarn. I have something in mind for the Gypsy Girl yarn already - but I could use help finding a cool pattern for the Mama-E yarn and the Crown Mountain Fiber.
I need a pattern that uses less than 200 yards of yarn - so I think socks are out. Maybe fingerless mitts?
I could use some ideas!!
Beautiful handspun!!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, spinning. Your handspun is gorgeous, and gorgeous colors as well. You could make a variegated scarf with two of the skeins (switch yarn every two rows). And make a nice hat with the third. Gorgeous, gorgeous colors! *sigh* I miss my wheel! :-)

Fingerless mitts are the way to go!!!! They'd be stunning!!! What about a skinny lacey scarf mixing in a more "blah" color of regular yarn - like they crown mountain with some grey or something?
ReplyDeleteI can give you the other half of the CMF and you can make socks...
ReplyDeleteand I think you should make me a hat out of the red and green yarn - the elfish one from the latest interveave!
Hey, Jody! I wanted to ask you a question about your blog, but I didn't see an e-mail address for you on here... would you be so fabulously kind as to e-mail me at (webseitler at yahoo)? Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteOutstanding! My vote is for mitts as well. Whatever project you choose it will be lovely. Don't don't forget to post the end result.
ReplyDeleteI'm mesmerized - what beautiful yarn!
ReplyDeleteDrooling at my computer, your handspun is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, i like them all! What a fine job.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, ideas for projects? I'm stumped. Sorry!
