Handspun

Here’s my handspun for the week.  This is about 250yds of light fingering weight fulled singles.  They’re a bit over-twisted and kinky but I like it.  The yarn is soft and slightly fuzzy, I just wish there was more of it.  The roving had felted a little when I dyed it so I had a hard time spinning, I was going for a thinner yarn but I could hardly draft the fiber out at all. 

I’ve spent my day knitting away on my work project and I’m a little under half an inch from hitting my goal for the week (I’d be done but I keep getting distracted).  I’ll probably finish the whole project next week, it’s working up super fast, it’s not even due until June.

I took a hour and warped the loom with that green handspun I linked to the other day.  I took a picture but it came out blurry.  I used under half the yarn for the warp and it should take a bit less for the weft.  Hopefully I can make a decent sized scarf and have enough left for a little hat or so some wrist warmers to match.

That’s all I have for today so here’s a cat, enjoying the warm weather.
