This is one of them....the spun yarn is a lovely merino corriedale blend in brown and red.....definitely chocolate covered cherries, so I held back a bit of the red for some cherries ----- spun in once completed....I think I'll need about 20 of them.... and I'm conscious of the size of the cherries as I need to get them through the wheel orafice. I do not want to ply this on the spindle.This is today's unfinished project.
A fantastic range of colours that I spun together, very electric and exciting. One ply is very fine and the other one is a bit thick and thin....Oh and today I am experimenting with coils. But not on this one...Finished yarn.
This one has my first coils. Yippee, trying to vary my spinning skills for Plucky Fluff --hate to be at the bottom of the class.
And now my big start (and finish) of the day....Here's the peek....
And the big finish. Do you think it needs a matching hat? Talk about being over accessorized.
This is all in preparation for my Prudence Mapstone workshop in July. I need to get a handle on working with these small quilty bits, but the yarns were gorgeous...an expensive sock yarn blended with silk and bamboo in solids from France. Just enough to umphhh in the design to show off the yarn.
It's only 10pm----one more design for the road? I'm too tired to work with the fine gauge felting needle. That thing can be quite hurty....Maybe one little visit to Ravelry......
