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!
