Bought this Malabrigo Nube fiber during a visit to Nashville. The color is awesome but the fiber was a bit felted which made spinning consistently a joke. Plan to knit the Shoreline vest because nothing makes less sense than using 570 yards of colorful handspun for my first vest.
This mystery fiber was spun in a spindle and plied on a wheel. Not ready to let go, I broke into my starter kit and dyed the yarn into a semi-solid.
Socks need heels. I am thirty something years past my tube sock days. Over-dyed the leftover yarn into a saturated purple to be used for the heels. Think big, use stash.
I will be back soon. I missed you my little space in the "webs".
It is good to hear from you again, although I am sorry to hear that you've been having a rough time. I totally get the blog break, though. Sometimes something just needs to come off of the list.
ReplyDeleteThe spinning looks great. I'm impressed with your consistency, especially considering the felted fiber problem.
Thanks for your kind words and for not forgetting me ;-) all the best to you, Audry xoxo
DeleteGlad to have you back! Sometimes life takes over from blogging and that is absolutely fine :) Already love all the pretty pictures and yarns you're bringing back to the internet.
ReplyDeleteI think I enjoy taking pictures as much as knitting the projects. More bang for the money :-) Thanks for stopping by, Tahnee xoxo
DeleteYou're back! All the yarn looks so lovely. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to be back! Don't even think I haven't keep up with your Instagram. Next year, I am going with you to Rhinebeck! xoxo
DeleteGlad to hear from you! I have had a hard time with blogging myself. Things just get busy. Hope to see you post soon!
