First bobbin plied with the Gulf Native Sheep fiber.
Lovely first skein.
The skein is a fingering weight right now but I have a feeling that when I wash the skein to set the twist it will fluff up to a sport weight.
We shall see.
I had thought to make some socks out of this, now I am not sure.
I won't wear this color for a cowl or hat so I probably should make socks!
Two skeins of this fiber completed. I ended up with 9.2 oz and 653 yards of yarn!
More than enough for several pairs of socks!
This is 4oz of a medium wool of unknown breed. I spun it very fine so it took a bit longer but an enjoyable worsted spin.
Another bobbin next!
Congrats for the finish! That is a very pretty pink. Gulf does make lovely springy socks. Some of my faves are made of Gulf.
ReplyDeleteBoth are VERY pretty.
ReplyDeleteI tell you I enjoy the Tour de France even more now that I know it means all many of the Fiber friends are off to tour de fleece. ha! I love the colors of your spinning and I definitely think they will make lovely socks.
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I especially love the color of the one on the bottom. Congrats on your new yarns!
