and now some spinning....

Having a rainy fall has given me more time at the wheel.
Alpaca silk in 'Deep Blue Sea' dyed by Gale's Art; 2 ply fingering weight. I can't even begin to describe how lovely this fiber is...it was a dream to spin.
'Deep Blue Sea' from Gale's Art. This time in BFL (a mix of light and dark fibers), low twist worsted singles.....so soft and yummy. I love how the same colorway looks unique in different fibers.
I participated in a swap on ravelry in the Southern Cross Fibre group, and Babylonglegs, my swap partner sent me some shetland roving she dyed. I spun it as a 2ply bulky weight yarn.
This is 'Prism', BFL dyed by Freckle Face Fibers, spun for socks as part of Handspun Socktober in the Snobby Spinners group on ravlery.

Last, but not least...my favorite of the bunch. 'Angelfish' merino, Southern Cross Fibre, October 2009 club. Navajo plied, dk weight. I am in love with the colors. It is a very soft, bouncy, sproingy yarn.

Now I need to get some knitting done!

    Wow, what a lot of spinning! All beautiful, of course. It's fun to experiment with various kinds of fibres and see how they all feel so different to spin.

    I am enjoying trying different fibers. I have some Falkland to try next. I also enjoy spinning fiber from different dyers. It is fun to experience their colors.
