The Beauty of Shadow Weave

I love this fabric so much! The way the warp and weft optically blend into so many different colors in this four-color shadow weave pattern is just so visually pleasing.  It’s a mix of a muted dark green and a vivid yellow-green in the warp, crossed with a muted maroon, and a bright icy blue

Is there anyone in/near Raleigh, NC with a baby mac I could come visit? I am seriously considering pulling the trigger on ordering one, but would really like to sit at one and make sure the ergonomics will work for me. photo of a recent project from my big mac that has been adopted by

Stunt Spinning

Finished four-ply cabled yarn from Alice’s Reflection Farm‘s fleece that I was spinning yesterday. This fleece spins so unbelievably fine, and is still bouncy even in a tightly-plyed worsted-spun yarn. Alice still has a lot of fleeces on hand in a variety of colors and they absolutely should find spinners to adore them.

Supah Fine!

Alice’s Reflection Farm grows some AMAZING CVM/Romeldale.

Spun!!

What I spun:  Total of 1,543 yds All spun on a McTavish Magnus spinning wheel. 

Spinning!

Today’s spinning so far. I got off to a bit of a slow start, but I’m hoping to get another bobbin of this completed tonight. noooo idea how many yards this is til I ply, but it’s about 1.5 oz of fairly fine single.

Moar Spinning!

Ok, here is where I am with my current spinning project. It’s about a pound and a half. I have one batt spun into a skein and labelled. The second bat has been broken into thirds, and I want to finish the first bobbin of this second batt today. I might finish spinning and ply

Just a little weekend project.

Runny Yarn

Grrr. Valley Yarns “Charlemont” in the color “Mulberry” ran so badly in the wash that it completely muted out the contrast threads in my latest shawl. *pissed*
