ALOHA!
Here are the colors for weeks 40-42.
First is FALL HARVEST in sw merino/nylon roving and merino/nylon sock blank. A sock blank is basically one full skein of yarn that I knitted with two strands held together to form a ‘blank’ – essentially a long knitted piece – which then I hand painted. The knitter unravels the yarn from one end and can make two socks at the same time that will have a near-identical pattern.
I also created a custom order in 50/50 merino/silk fingering yarn.
TEAPOT STILL LIFE inspired by artwork by artist friend, Aaron Spurgeon! This is sw merino/nylon roving, sparkle fingering sock blank and cotton roving.
BILTMORE BENCH 2 in merino/bamboo/nylon roving and merino/silk lace yarn.
BERRY PIE in superwash BFL mini-batt and rolags.
EGGPLANATEE (inspired by Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs 2) in merino/silk lace yarn and alpaca/wool/bamboo roving.
SUNSET OVER TITLUS in sw merino/merino/silk roving and lightweight fingering yarn.
and another braid in polwarth for me to spin!
WORLDLY in merino & leicester longwool roving.
Purple & Gray mercerized cotton in sport weight and cotton worsted.
MONSTER MASH in cotton worsted.
I also created some rolags!
SOCKS! My Desiree Diamond Socks pattern is now available on KnitPicks.com!
These socks are available on the shoppe.
And lastly, here’s the finished alpaca skeins that I processed from raw to sport weight 2-ply handspun in LANIKAI colorway.
