Current wip - with a zillion tails to weave in 😜

Back onto spinning after market prep. Dyed this Polwarth a while ago, I recon it's going to be an awesome spin.

Finally making myself something with my own yarn 😁😁
Think it's Merino that I spun up more than a year ago. The initial dyed colours was too light so I redyed the skein. Perrrrfect for a pair of socks!

Fractual spinning - Corriedale, 3 ply, 11wpi
Top dyed by 🥰

Market Prep: I spun up a whopping 3 x 100g of this , it's soooo soft and squishy! Weight is between DK and Sport

Current spin - Polwarth.
Hopefully I dyed enough fibre to complete a jumper. This is going to be a 3 ply and it's taking longer than I expected... BUT I'm positive and patient!

3 skeins spun for a larger project. Aran/Worsted, 3 ply.
I've been soooo busy market prep

Spinning up a braid that I dyed a couple of weeks ago - olive green, caramel with black. I'm in 😍

Spinning Yarns Festival!
What an amazing day. Blessed beyond words as I almost sold out.

Spinning Yarns Festival | a festival of colour, creativity and craft

Finished this bobbin last night, only used caramel and navy... I think the colours complement each other. Not sure if I should chain ply or ply with a lighter variant!?

Current spin
I haven't posted in a while, loads happening but spin I absolutely do when I have 'me time'
Touches of caramel, burnt orange and blue

This one is my favourite so far!

Single spun at 40wpi, on my last bobbin for a 3-ply. I think the colours complement each other 😁

Experimented with just a dash of colour, left loads of undyed fibre. 💜💙
Plan to do a 2 ply with this Superwashed merino

Texture!
Superwashed Merino, 2 Ply
I've dyed enough to spin another skein for a larger project.
