This week, I've been spinning a stashdown braid from Two If By Hand. This is Kaleidoscope on Polwarth (dug out from deep stash).
I decided to spin this up as a 3-ply to blend all those lovely colors together, and to spin this as a fractal. For bobbin #1, I divided the first third of the roving in half lengthwise; for bobbin #2, I stripped the second third of the roving into 4 lengthwise pieces; and for bobbin #3, I stripped the final third of the roving into 12 lengthwise pieces.
I finished up the plying on this as well, and wound up with a lovely, warm and squishy DK-weight yarn.
Technical Specs:
Fiber: 4 oz of Polwarth wool from Two If By Hand
Ply: 3-ply.
Weight: DK weight.
Yardage: 257 yards/3.5 oz skein.
I'm planning on making a simple hat with it. I've tentatively got Hoarfrost lined up for this.
A blog filled with my random musings about sewing, knitting, stitching, reading, and anything else filling my world with wonders.
