Much as I love spinning and yarns of pretty colours, I distinctly lack confidence in dying pretty yarns and more so, being sure I would get what i wanted. This isnt exactly what I wanted. I wanted a colour, any colour, with subtle darker and lighter waves to it, now, the crap knows how many […]

So. You remember the single I made Well I plied it up by splitting it over 2 bobbins and I have to say the final hank doesn’t show the lovely graceful slow colour changes I ended up with on the bobbin. Should have taken a photo of that. Thus shows the fibre I started with […]

You remember the summer sky batch I did. Well this was the fibres from before. And while I haven’t plyed it yet due to the Andean plying disasters. Which is what I would like to so with it but won’t S it’s nice. So will have to wind it onto another bobbin to ply it.
