Spinning a yarn...silky green
Just look at this fiber goodness.
This fiber is a lite blended mix of moreno wool and silk. The blending was done on my home made blending board. The fiber is blended and pulled off in wrap called a rolag. Six rolags from this mixture awaited my spinning wheel...
One bobbin full! This is a single ply of yarn spun up and ready to rest for a bit while i get a second one going. Once I get two bobbins full of single ply its time to wind them together to create a 2-ply yarn. Doing this helps balance out the yarn and makes for a really appealing finished yarn.
Here is a close up of the two bobbins plied together! i realy enjoy seeing how the fibers and colors come together in the end.
In the end I got two full bobbins of this gorgeous yarn. This yarn is vibrant with a bouncy feel to it. By know I usually know what my finished yarn will be turned into. This is destined to be a warm and stunning slouch hat!
Comments? Ideas? I am always looking for new fibers to play with and new techniques to try.
Hopefully one day they will implement Steemit market! And then you could sell what you make here! and I would buy it haha. I love that color! It looks awesome!
Great post! and informative. Thank you.
Thank you for responding to my post. Steemit market would be awesome to have. I will make sure to post a pic of the hat when I am done.
