Might do a thread of all the craft-related shit I get up to while working from home. Because I’m trying to keep my mood up and making shiny new things is my way of doing that.
So, handspun. We have some sport-weight Polwarth; some chunky Falkland merino; some chunky slubby Cheviot plied with sari silk.
Spinning up this Polwarth/Shetland/silk blend.
Finished! Sport weight, about 240m, 2 ply with an attempt at fractal spinning
Another finished spin! This is Industrial by Countess Ablaze, a custom blend of merino/angelina/baby alpaca/seacell. About 110m, chunkyish weight, destined to be a hat for Andrew.
Working with some humbug Corriedale today. I dyed this as an experiment because I’d never worked with humbug fibre before and boy is it lovely.
Finished! 155m approx of humbug Corriedale in DK weight, love the way this turned out.
Just want to say if my crafting is annoying you at the moment (and I totally get that it might come off as twee or smug or something) pls feel free to mute this thread because I don’t mind but I like posting this for myself.
