The following certainly isn’t all that happened at Yarn School, but bite-sized chunks are good, right?
These are batts I made on the Yarn School drum carders:
The fiber content of each is pretty broad.
The first yarn I successfully chain-plyed (also called Navajo plying):
Spun from hand-dyed wool top I got from The Sheep Shed Studio. It hasn't had its bath yet.
I didn’t take a photo of the yarn I spun long draw from rolags.
Fiber I dyed in the dye lab:
superwash merino
100 percent wool top, dyed in a crock pot
BFL (blue faced leicester) top
merino top
I feel like I went out on a limb on this one, and I was pleased with how it turned out.
All of it was incredibly exhilarating.
If I’m disappointed in anything, it’s that I didn’t spin more while I was there. That’s my own fault, though. Here’s the bulk of what I did spin:
Bobbin 1, half of 4 ounces of Hello Yarn colorway Gentler, merino top.
Bobbin 2, the second half of 4 ounces of Hello Yarn colorway Gentler, merino top. I plan to ply these two singles together.
Stunning! I always have fiber envy after Yarn School.
I wish I had this kind of talent – this looks amazing!
It looks like it was a great success – I love all the colors!
So Lovely!!! All your dyeing and spinning is just wonderful!
p.s. here’s a link to the pic I took of you and Maisy!
