Autumn Leaves


The wool in these two skeins is Blue Faced Leicester - very soft with a slight lustre or sheen. After spinning the white tops I dyed the yarn in colours inspired by the Autumn Leaves which were starting to fall around me as I walked.
The yarn comes in two skeins (sold together)
61gm - 68m
77 gm - 93m
Total: 138 gm 161m
$40 + postage
The yarn measures 9wpi ~ Which approximately a worsted weight or 10 ply.
This yarn has been created lovingly in a pet friendly, smoke free home, please wash carefully by hand using a recommended wool wash and dry flat in the shade. It will felt and shrink if treated roughly.

Spinning randomly

Randomly spinning small quantities of tops then Navaho plying them to maintain the colour separations has created a beret with circles. The pattern by Diane Mulholland is freely available on Ravelry and can be used with all types of yarns because it is based on a swatch. It was knitted in the round starting at the brim and working inwards. Approx 12 wpi.

Great Beanie Picnic

This lovely soft yarn from a EGMTK batt was sold at the Great Beanie Picnic held on 20th February for the exhibition of the Alice Springs Beanie Festival Travelling Show . The lady who bought it has at least one beanie in the show - she wasn't sure if she would use it for Art Beanie or for herself. either way it has gone to a good home. Most people seemed to be poking around looking for a bargain, and as any spinner knows fine blends don't come cheap! Still we had a good afternoon and I was able to demonstrate/teach a few younger people to drop spindle and showed them how to make a CD spindle of their very own.
