Fiber source: Pigeon Roof Studios
Color: Verbena
Type: Merino/Tussah Silk
WPI: mostly 18 but with some / Sport weight but with some thicker and thinner areas too
Yardage: approx 210 yds
One of my goals with spinning is to learn and consistently try to spin sock weight-yarns, although I think I'd like to stick with sport weight. So here is my attempt. Overall, I am very pleased with the result. I was so-so about it before setting the twist but now it looks great.
I attempted to put a lot of twist into this hand spun similar to Koigu simply because I liked the look of it and I'm not sure if that affected my yardage because I don't have enough for socks with yardage being only 210 yds. Can I make footies with these? Not sure. It might end up being a cowl instead.
I can see why handspun sock yarn costs so much now! It takes a looong time to do it. It took me several sittings to finish plying.
Sorry for the crap photos as it looks kinda blurry to me.
LaLa's Simple Shawl
US 10 29" clover bamboo circs
Lion Brand Wool Ease
Oxford Gray
4 skeins
Some mods. Raveled here
Finally FINALLY used up the last of this yarn! From now on, its yarn snobbery for me. No more buying blended yarn unless I'm buying acrylic for a specific purpose. Made this for the madre. Its a 50/50 blend I think so it still feels nice and what mama don't know won't hurt her!
