Fall Inspired and a Little Kinky

There were two sets of rolags that I made last year... they didn't sell... but they just seemed to "belong" together... and wouldn't you know, that is exactly what happened, lol.

I went ahead and spun one from each set, back and forth, until I ran out of rolags :)


"Pumpkin Patch" and "Halloween-y Harvest"


"Pumpkin Patch" Contents:
*Teeswater
*Merino
*Corriedale
*Silk
*Alpaca
*Llama
*Tencel
*Angelina


"Halloween-y Harvest" Contents:
*Merino
*Angelina


As you can see, the mix of fibers is a little strange... and I learned that while spinning... Teeswater has a long staple, great luster... but might not be the "softest" thing for next to skin... so this yarn would definitely not be great for that use.


Spun Single


Navajo/Chain Plied Yarn


On the Knitty Noddy... with one of Ethan's spiders, lol


Pre-Wash


Even with the "scratch-y" feeling at times... this yarn is quite nice... It is super sparkly... but over spun in places, which makes it kinky, lol.

"Pumpkin Harvest" Yarn - 125 yards - Sport Weight - 3-Ply (NPly)


The Finished "Pumpkin Harvest" Yarn


In the Skein


And a Close Up... because I really love the colors!!!
