PLAYING WITH YARN

The rest of the Gulf Native wool was spun up and I even plied the two bobbins into yarn--330 yards of worsted weight yarn!
This yarn is very soft and will join the skein I made a while ago but I don't know what exactly I will be making from it yet!  So often, I spin for the pleasure of spinning and not because of a specific project I want the yarn to be!
I also have a finish in the granny squares realm!  
This is now 48" x 60" which is a good snuggle/nap size. 
 The colorful blocks are from the Red Heart yarn made to make the granny squares with its own color changes preset for you. 
 It mostly works out! lol  
I already took a nap with it so it is approved!  
I will most likely gift this or maybe donate it. 
 I have been making a lot of blankets lately! 
 In fact, I have the pleasure of teaching a mom and her daughter how to crochet today but we will start out with a dishcloth 
to learn the basics first!

  4. Wow...that's a lot of spinning accomplished! Any blanket that ends up being nap worthy is a success. I can still see my mom on the couch under the orange afghan her grandmother made for her.
