Two ply spun from 8 oz. of Louet Northern Lights 100% wool top, in a colorway called Toffee. Reds, browns, yellows, and violets. I just love the barberpole effect.
It's not a very consistent weight, as there's still a little thick-and-thin action going on; it's somewhere between a DK and a worsted, I think. I have approximately 286 yards, so enough for a pair of ankle socks or a cute hat. Maybe a jaunty beret? Or maybe this is just going to be another contribution to my own handspun museum!
Mmm! Kinda like a light cocoa cake with raspberry buttercream! You're well on your way to competing with JARED!
ReplyDeleteI vote for a jaunty beret, but then again, I would vote for anything jaunty.
ReplyDeleteLooks great! It seems the transition to spinning is going rather smoothly.....I have been eying drop spindles online; though, I hardly have time to knit!
ReplyDeleteWow, I can't believe that's only your second handspun! Looks great!
ReplyDeleteI say beret. Wie wie, beret.
You're a total natural!! That looks abso-freakin' amazing!
ReplyDeleteIsn't the Lendrum a dream to spin with?
