Spunky fiberclub- eclectic jam

September 1st, 2010

I got my second clubfiber from Spunky Eclectic, Lovely BFL and silk (80/20). I think this has to become a 2 ply laceweight. It is THE softest thing!!!

Samplespinning

August 31st, 2010

A few weeks ago I got a package in the mail from Tante Ull. A lovely needlebag and a sample of CrownMountainFarms polwarth fiber. I have spun the fiber up and I really like the finished yarn even if it is a little underplied someplaces. It spun up nicely on my Bosworth minispindle and I plied it on my Jenkins Turkish spindle.

I have also set the twist on the yarn I spun on my dropspindle during the knittingweekend. Lovely merino, and I LOVE it!

I got a bag of fur that was brushed of my FILs Border Collie, Kira.  And I spun it up to a nice sample yarn. After washing it came out really nice!

I only had a pic of her head, but at least it is a pic of her :)
