Yarn & nothing but yarn.

Some recently finished skeins… finally got a chance to take some photos this morning.

Just finished this one yesterday. BFL, chain-plied, about 248 yards:

50/50 Superwash Merino & Tencel from Squoosh. Beautiful but super slippery, making consistency difficult for me. I think I prefer a smaller percentage of tencel in my rovings:

Corriedale from Dicentra Designs. Not my most perfect yarn, but the colors make me giddy, so I don’t care!

Anyone want some yarn?

Now Spinning

Haven’t done a “now spinning” post in a while. Here’s what’s currently on the wheel:

Both photos can be clicked to see larger images on Flickr. I used a flash for these shots, so the color isn’t perfect. This is 4oz. of BFL from Abstract Fiber in the colorway “Asia”. When we went to Portland in November, I wrangled a visit to Abundant Yarn & Dyeworks and picked this up there, along with some Sulka that got turned into a hat for Mr. Wolf.

I’ve finished a few skeins now and desperately need to photograph and update the Etsy shop. Hmph. Sounds like work!

Floppy Hat

Floppy Hat

Hand spun Blue Face Leicester from Dicentra Designs. This was a super quick and easy project — a floppy little hat for Veronica. I hope it fits! I plied the yarn with an iridescent thread, so it has sparkle:
