1 full skein

yarn for the sock pattern I'm working on

I love this yarn - great stitch definition, beautiful heathered colors, and it softens up nicely in a wool wash bath.

Woot! My main TDF goal of processing and spinning a bunch of petting zoo Jacob wool is done.

Carded on cards I got at Urban Fauna's opening day, and spun on my Mach 1, also from U.F.S.

This is the Benny yarn that I spun into a single and then was too afraid to ply for the longest time...I finally got up the courage and plied it and it went pretty well, I think. The resulting yarn is really soft and pretty, I love the natural brown color.

Did I do it right? Does this look like proper hand spun yarn?? Will it unspin on me?? I have this huge doubt in my mind that I did it wrong because it seemed almost too easy. Me being uncordinated I really have doubts :( I know its not super tight or really professional looking but I wanted to learn to spin to make thicker wools.

As I think we have previously mentioned we are exceptionally enthusiastic about this fantastic range of blankets.

What more do you require from a blanket the bold block check is simple and yet adds a real statement and the colours, well, whether you chose this fabulous Fuchsia Pink or the Navy and Green both have that essential ingredient – pale grey which injects a modern feel and allows the colours to simply sing.

So get in tune and reap the benefits of this gorgeous fuchsia pink, purple and grey check blanket in 100% pure new wool.
