Superwash BFL and Merino

I was finally able to finish what I started at the Crafter's Bee held at the Former Governor's Mansion last Saturday. I finished 2 projects and started a third. This I started awhile ago but it made beautiful 2 ply yarn.

Here is one of my latest purchases from Wooly Treasures. I have never spun BFL before but it spins beautifully and it's very pretty. I love these colors.

Winter projects

This is the month for finishing old projects and starting new projects which seems more fun for some reason. I certainly want to stay inside these days with it 20 below and colder with wind chill. I finished my green scarf which I dyed and spun the wool myself. No picture yet but I will post one later.

I finished spinning some Merino wool I had started awhile back. I didn't really like it at first but once I plyed it I liked it better

fabric dying

I also have been taking a class on fabric dying from Linae Enochson at BSC. We learned shibori and African folding and some others I can't pronounce. We also did silk screen printing. We used cotton squares and procion dyes. Here are a couple pictures of my results. The class has been a lot of fun as every class I've taken from Linae.

Almost Christmas

Here it is almost Christmas and I'm not a very good at keeping up my blog. I will get more yarn and roving up on etsy and ravelry hopefully tomorrow. Today I took some of the pictures and as it is snowy and cold outside.

The yarn is merino and bamboo from FatCatKnits. Very pretty and easy to spin. The roving is Corridale dyed with Jacquard acid dyes.

Here is some the yarn I have made lately
