Entry for September 2, 2008 ![]() This is some novelty yarn I spun up yesterday. The base is Black Welsh Mountain lambswool from a friend (thanks, Andrea). I spun it in a medium fne single. Then I plied it back on itself, but with a twist. Oops - pardon the pun!
I layed Bluefaced Leicester locks in between the 2 threads of BWM as I plied, allowing the locks to twist and curl as they liked. The BFL locks are dyed a blend of hot pink/orange/yellow. I think it would make a terrific hat, or I picture a dark brown/black sweater with a shawl neckline made with this yarn. I will definitely be doing this again - what fun! 2008-09-02 23:17:19 GMT
