I love yarn!

I realized that after the discussion on [livejournal.com profile] zsenya's LJ the other day, some people might want to see what I've been up to with my spindles and spinning wheel.



These are in the order I spun them with a bit of info on each skein. Oh, all the skeins were dyed with Wilton's Cake Icing Colors.









Coppery is 74 yards of 2-ply Blue Faced Leicester. It was spun and plied on my Schacht top/bottom whirl spindle.






Iris is 54 yards of 2-ply Tussah Silk. It was spun and plied on my Tulipwood Vixen spindle.









Fruit Stripe is 63 yards of 1-ply Blue Faced Leicester with a stripe of Tussah Silk. It was spun on my Louet S-17 wheel. SOLD!






Millais' Bridesmaid is 119 yards of Blue Faced Leicester with a pinch of "tropics" Firestar. Spun on the wheel.






Tulips is 115 yards of 2-ply Blue Faced Leicester. Spun on the wheel.









Waving, Not Drowning I is 271 yards of 2-ply Blue Faced Leicester. From the wheel.







Waving, Not Drowning II is 189 yards of 2-ply BFL also. It was dyed with the same dye mixes, but in a different pot, so the colors are ever so slightly different. A bit more white and a bit less green than WNDI. From the wheel.









Lilac Skies is 262 yards of 2-ply South African Fine. From the wheel.









Prairie Flower is 284 yards of South African Fine plied with a gold polyester thread. Wheel spun.










Daffodil Fields is 412 yards of Merino plied with a green polyester thread. Wheel spun.






Dreamscape is the yarn I just finished. I carded together some Merino I had dyed greenish, blueish, reddish with some eggplant N.Z. Corriedale I had left over and some icicle blending fiber. Because it was really my first real project spinning from a hand-carded rollag, it's a very thick & thin yarn, but I love it all the same. SOLD!

Hi! We're actually already friends under my other lj name, v_r but I'm deleting that because it's getting too close to my RL. I'd love to be friends again under my brand new super sekrit lj identiy. Hope to see you soon!
