First up are the two Icelandic skeins. I dyed both of these ages ago. The top darker green one was slightly felted from the dying process. It actually spun up quite well as a bulky yarn with some slubby goodness.
Dark multi green Icelandic wool. Worsted - Bulky Wt. 86yrds. 2.5oz.
Lime green Icelandic wool. Fingering - sport wt. 115 yrds. 1.4oz.
"Kitchen Sink" Skeins. These are my first inclusion handspuns that are this crazy. I literally went through all my sewing trims, yarn remnants, and misc. bits of wool and locks. Then I picked a base fiber. Then I just went to town spinning everything I could into these beauties. I can't say how much I love them! The white one is mostly sari silk, locks, and some commercial art type yarn pieces.
Black "Kitchen Sink" skein. Singles. 55yrds. 3.8oz. (Alaina loves this one and wants a hat)
White "Kitchen Sink" skein. Two ply with coils.
Merino Tencel from a person on Ralvery. I hated spinning this so I stopped about 1/4 of the way through my 4oz roving. But, after letting it sit on the bobbin and then plying it, I'm actually really liking it and I think I'll spin up the rest of it. Light Worsted Wt. 1.4oz and 115yrds.
OMG Tailspun. My first and certainly not my last. I had sooo much fun spinning this one up. First I spun up the locks, then I plied it with some gold thread. It's crazy soft and so colorful. 2.4oz and 38 yards.
This one is from a roving that I got on Etsy. 100% Superwash BFL Worsted Wt. 4oz 225 yards.
More to come later this week. If I'm not to busy spinning!
