Just a few bits of spinning finished recently.
This was spun from the last of the naturally-dyed Falkland rolags that I made for the Tour de Fleece, One ply was purple (dyed with logwood), and the other ply was a mix of all the other colours.
This one is Falkland and silk. This photo was taken before I washed it. The Falkland had previously been dyed in an old walnut hull dye, but when I washed it, the colour disappeared! It's now waiting to be re-dyed with something else.
The final skein was spun from a bag of free samples I was given in the summer at the festival Le Lot et La Laine. The pink mix was, I think, merino, angora and mohair, and the white was pure, gorgeous, angora bunny - sheer luxury.
This shows how it was spinning up on the bobbin,
and this is the bobbin of merino that I planned to ply it with. The pinky-coloured mix contained the same colour turquoise as this.
The final skein, and of course a sexy close-up :-

That final skein must be so fluffy!
ReplyDeleteNot yet, but I'm hoping it will become fluffier with use. Got to love angora!
