I signed up for 2 months of Hilltop Cloud's Time Traveler's Club - love that theme! The August fiber was a lovely custom blend of merino and silk, with a theme of William Morris's popular print The Strawberry Thief. The original roving looked like:
I had 200 grams to work with (I ordered a double dose) - and I knew I wanted to spin this fairly finely for a fingering weight yarn. I finally finished this up this week and LOVE how it came out.
Yarn Specs:
Roving: 25% Corriedale/12.5% Mulberry Silk/62.5% Merino custom blend from Hilltop Cloud. August 2015 Time Traveller's Club fiber.
Ply: 2-ply.
Weight: Fingering weight.
Yardage: 661 yards/6.6 oz.
I have no specific plans for this as of yet, but I'm definitely leaning towards a shawl since the drape is lovely and it's a great almost-solid/tweedy yarn.
A blog filled with my random musings about sewing, knitting, stitching, reading, and anything else filling my world with wonders.
