My current spin is for a shawl. I want to see how this handspun performs in fabric form before I start spinning for an all-over patterned sweater. This skein was spun from a white, beautifully prepared commercial sliver (purchased from Crafty Jaks). I will spin another 100 gram skein today and then pop both skeins into a scouring pot. Then I will be all set and can start dyeing once I decide upon the colours. The Shetland handspun shown here measures out at 1,428 ypp and 22 wpi before scouring.
Spin On My Wheel Today
The skein above looks so soft and squishy….
Merry Christmas <<<-
This handspun Shetland has a truly lovely hand. I added a bit more twist added than normal. I will be swatching soon. Then I will know if I am on the right track or not for my next sweater……an all-over (Fairisle) pattern.
A very Merry Christmas to you as well Heather! All the best!
