My packaged batt arrived from Norway on Friday. Isn't the color delicious? It is called Plum Blush.
I opened it up and had to decide how to use the fibers for spinning. Since I couldn't make up my mind, I pulled the batt in half and did it both ways!
I then spun up my little piles of rovings............each half batt on their own bobbin.
When plied, I had a lovely little skein of yarn.

I have sent in my evaluation and now I have the beads picked out and the pattern to make a beaded necklace-another project for Mom and I to tackle this week!
So pretty! Glad you got the chance to participate in the 'testing'!
ReplyDeleteIt looks very pretty though not being a spinner I kind of missed the 'both ways' thing!
ReplyDeleteWas it a good evaluation? It looks good but did it spin easily and did it knit well?
That is such a pretty color. Almost makes me want to learn to knit. There's a quilt fabric and yarn shop in North Syracuse that tests my fortitude every time I go in. Fabric is still winning but only just.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried any of the ribbon yarns?
