  1. Today was a day for art yarn. Bought a feathery, sparkly and oh so soft texture batt of "alpaca wool and stuff" in Estes Park many years ago. Spun it some months back but had no idea what to ply it with, until I found a gorgeous bunch of Blue Faced Leicester, dyed yellow with some nature dye I've forgotten (but there should be a note on a paper somewhere). Might as well name it "The Shining". It will be even more sparkly after a soaking.

  2. the bouclé keeps getting better. this is a mostly consistent thick single and three plies of binding thread - feels a lot sturdier and I think it balances better too. I don't know what I'm going to use this for but I can see it working out ok as an accent thread for weaving.

    there is one trash batt left, I'm going to try to make a match for this skein. that'll be a good test for me.

  7. fat bouclé, v2

    these spirals are not squished together at all, which makes this a very unstable yarn, but it's not done yet so that's ok. this bobbin is a hero for putting up with my nonsense.

    this is a very silly technique. I can't imagine using it for a real project, but it is fun to spin.

  17. this is two ounces of fiber. usually I can fit four on one of these bobbins. I wasn't sure I would even make it - weird to be playing bobbin chicken with so little fiber. makes me think this is going to be delightfully lofty once it's finished.

    I'm glad I have a jumbo bobbin for the next plying step. I don't think it'll fit on a normal one.
