Spinnanigans
I took part in the Tour de Fleece again this year. As usual, my grand plans of spinning up pounds and pounds of fibre came to naught, but I did manage a few skeins:
Fingering weight singles, Spunky Eclectic Shetland in ‘Selfish’, an old club colourway, approximately 300yards
Sport weight 2ply, Enchanted Knoll Farm Bliss in ‘Chai’, a gorgeous, drapey yarn, merino and silk blend
More Spunky Eclectic, this time ‘Rocky Mountain High’ merino singles; a bit thick and thin for my liking, but it will do
This was fun: Southern Cross Fibre Polwarth in ‘Pandora’ in a bulky 2ply. I challenged myself to spin 4oz of yarn in an evening, and succeded with this chunky, squishy yarn.
Finally, more Shetland, this time a top from Southern Cross Fibre, in ‘Evil Temptress’, although I seem to have renamed it ‘Evil Enchantress’. This is a lace/fingering weight single to be proud of, even if some of the less well spun sections drifted apart when I wound it off the bobbin.
Beautiful yarn and stunning picture in your new header photo. I am guessing that this is in WA somewhere.
Thank you! The header is a picture of the standing stones called the Pinnacles in Nambung National Park. It’s about two hours north of Perth; we went there in May with my parents.
