74 yards
Merino, Merino/silk, angelina, sari silk and handspun novelty yarns from Lynn (Yarn Wench)
Flax from HollyEQQ
More Angelina from Steph (Loop)
Camel Down from Liz (Hobbledehoy)
This is a really fun art yarn with MAJOR texture!! I LOVE how it turned out!! The flax is really cool.. and it's amazing with the sari silk!!
Holly sent me some flax in one of my orders, and mentioned it would look amazing with sari silk. Lynn had sent me a wonderful mmmbellishments set with turquoise sari silk and fun handspun novelty yarns with the most amazing teal merino and merino silk. I found some fluffy camel down that Liz had sent with one of my first orders and I knew all was meant to be. Steph sent some turquoise angelina rush to me on her way to her week vacation (she rocks)

There was a Yellow Not-a-Pig
Who liked to eat cannoli
On each winter's day
The Not-a-Pig would say
'All this cream can't be healthy'.

I always have too many projects on-the-go and then I spend far too much time trying to decide which one gets priority!
The pale green (vintage thread) tatting project is an adapted doily pattern - it'll be an overskirt on a blythe doll dress - one day!
Also in the photo is a brown jumper I'm knitting for my daughter, a brioche cowl / ring scarf from my hand-spun ... and a whole lot of fish & things that I'm going to make into a miniature Aquarium as part of a window display at my local yarn shop.
The first 10 yards of this skein is a slightly different wool/silk/locks composition than the last 20 yards..which has silk baubles and spun in kid mohair locks.

Wool is an easy theme for a knitter and hand spinner !
Imogen and 7 woolly-nesses of various stages of processing ...
From the Left:
a handful of Border Leicester fleece - unprocessed (not washed or anything)
above is a bobbin of the same fleece spun but not plyed - spun 'in the grease' (not washed or carded)
the roll of white - that is commercially prepared 'roving' aka 'sliver' ready to be spun (but it is very harsh and scratchy so I'll probably use it to make felt instead)
then Imogen - wearing a dress I knitted from wool knitting yarn (commercial not hand-spun)
on top of her is the sock yarn (wool and 25% nylon) she'd like me to knit her a dress or suit from (this and the last 2 are from my fav. fibre supplier - Ixchel)
then on the bobbin is some hand-spun, not yet plyed - and that fibre is a blend of Shetland wool with all sorts of luxury fibres
above - the blue/grey fluff is my current spinning (that's the last bit) and that is another blend - based on merino wool this time.
