Tour de Fleece 2010 – Days 7-9

Been working on this for four days now… have the first bobbin done and am working on the second.

Maleficent - Tour de Fleece Day 7

Decided to take a break today (Day 9) and ply this fiber that I’d already spun. It’s merino that I dyed a while back with Easter egg dyes:

Crimson Clover - Tour de Fleece Day 9 (plied)

As you can see, the final picture is much too orange… took the shot in some bad light. The fiber is more of an overall pinkish-red as the roving photo above shows better. The final yarn is about 4 oz, 368 yards, and about 18 wpi.

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?
