fiber -> yarn
April 9th, 2007 at 8:22 pm (spinning)
I wouldn’t say this is the best sampling of my spinning; but I did turn fiber into a yarn like substance.
The fiber (separated into smaller chunks from the roving I received):
The final yarn:
Pardon the odd perspective on the yarn. I was trying to be ‘artsy’. ha. it’s sitting on top of my orchid plant pots. Owell, wierd yarn deserves a wierd photo. It’s spun thick and thin because I was too annoyed with it to be consistent. I think my main problem was I didn’t like the colors very much and the roving wasn’t drafting out as easily as I wanted it to.
The yarn will most likely become a blanket for my daughter’s Barbie. Said daughter really likes the colors. I’m glad someone does!
In relative size terms - if this yarn were made into a blanket for an adult, the gauge would be about 2 inches to the stitch. At least Barbie will be warm.
