Aloha! Here are the colors and inspirational images for weeks 10-11.
A new colorway! PEGGY’S COVE in alpaca lace yarn and Mixed BFL/Silk roving:
Inspired by the photo I took while visiting Peggy’s Cove @ Halifax, Nova Scotia:
DARK UNIVERSE in merino/silk lace yarn and black alpaca/silk roving:
Cloudy2-Inspired FLAMANGOES in superwash merino worsted weight yarn:
FIESTA handspun and Navajo-plied merino/bamboo/silk DK weight yarn:
I wanted to try supported spindling again and took out my pear tahkli spindle and tried spinning a small amount of pink merino/silk wool. It was great fun to use a small wooden bowl for the base. I know you’re supposed to use a ceramic bowl so I’ll try that next. Here’s a work in progress photo:
And the final 2-ply yarn. I think it’s somewhere between lace and fingering weight:
Of course now I want a Russian supported spindle! (Will the wanting ever end?? LOL!)
enjoy!
