72 yards of thick & thin brown baby alpaca goodness with puffy blobs of border leciester locks. Made from Loop batts!!!
Talking to a friend, he told me that he considers knitting to be rather demanding and skillful. After all, being able to create something from scratch is the most compelling, appealing, relaxing and exhilarating thing I can think of. So, let the knitting begin!

Yesterday my mother, who taught me to knit when I was 7, bequeathed me the last of her wool collection.
ODT Pastime - Knitting, of course, and aiming to get this up to 4000 views!!
I purchased this wool felt from One of the Flock on Etsy. It's so yummy and I love the colours and texture so much that I purchased more right after I received it in the mail!
Spun from scraps of my handdyed Spicery Shetland, Faded Merino, Ripe Olive Merino/mohair, and Churned Up Falklands.
Aran weight, 470 yards/10 oz.
This is group #1 of the effort to reduce my hand-dyed spinning fiber stash.
This was spun fast and loose while watching movies, including Twilight, which entertained me to no end.
I've been knitting up my stash of leftover or single skein wooly wools into 9" squares for a blanket for my living room couch.
I'm about half way through, and am getting near the end of my yarn. I have another square's worth of orange, 2 or 3 more brown squares, and 4 or 5 squares worth of natural yarn that I'll probably dye before using.
So far, this pile includes:
Peace Fleece
Barlett Yarn
Harrisville Highland
Zeilinger's
Sweet Grass Wool 2-ply (targhee)
Mystery tweed
Does anyone have any wooly wool leftovers that they wouldn't mind sharing? 25-35 grams makes a square, depending on weight. (Harrisville only took 25 grams, heaviest aran weight Z-wool was 35 grams).
All of our natural dye experiments so far.
From left to right: Eucalyptus Batch 1 and 2, Onion Batch 1, Virginia Creeper, and Onion Batch 2.
What happens when you dismantle some of your finished objects.
I may have made eight sweaters this year, but I deconstructed four, three of which were back to just yarn in a matter of a few hours.
While investigating a small harbour town we came across Patsy Wool Socks.
We had already bought a pair of alpaca socks so we didn't buy from Patsy.
