Going to use this for my first attempt a dying wool.

86g - the full skein

 

I'm really pleased... it was kinda drab until it dried and then it got really BRIGHT

Half double crochet stitches with front post relief stitch in cream, purple cluster stitch;

 

Green and cream yarn are from Cascade Yarns, 100% Peruvian Highland Wool, and the purple is an acrylic I have had for years so no name attached.

bad photos...but the best I could do right now.

My first attempt at handspinning with a drop spindle, Feb-March 2006. This was a beautiful tri-color "pumpkin" wool roving. I only bought a tiny bit of it, so this skein is all I have-- I really love how it turned out, but haven't figured out what I can do with such a small amount of yarn.

 

This is an old time favorite self-pattering sock yarn.

For sale in my Etsy shop. Check my profile for the link!

Non washable wool

Lion Brand Wool-Ease Worsted Weight in 152 Oxford Grey

They almost look like buns or scrolls from a bakery!

I turned into one of those internet yarn stalkers and scored a skein of Jared Flood's Grand Street Ink. I couldn't get a good shot of it, but it's the most beautiful deep purple wool/silk blend.

I don't know which I like better--Jared Flood's designs or his photography.

4.00mm needles, 100% merino wool, hand-dyed, 50g/125m

Hand-dyed using Jacquard acid dyes - I was trying for a straight black and magenta with white spots, but as it turned out the black was made from a brown base so some of that pigment leaked out. I really like the final result.

 

This is 76 yards of elann.com Peruvian Highland Chunky weight.

first successfully spun and plied yarn. Does this look overtwisted to you? After I plied it, it hung nice and loose and didn't twist back on itself.

i crocheted this one about a year and a half ago. that was when i started really getting into making hats. it's a blend of wool and silk. i used to wear it all the time and then i learned to knit. lol
