Corespun yarn is made by taking a strand of  thread or yarn — in my case I used cotton crochet thread — and wrapping fiber around it. There are some really amazingly beautiful results out there if you look through Flickr, and I was inspired by some fiber I received as a Christmas present from Mama & Papa Wolf in these gorgeous blues, greens and purples.

When it first came off the bobbin, I didn’t much like it, but after looking at the photo, I think I do. The colors are kind of selling it for me. It’s so different from what I usually try to spin and I only did a very small amount. I’ll have to try to work it into a project somehow… maybe stripes in a hat made with another similar weight yarn.
