Fulled Yarn

A bit of before:
A bit of a wash:
After fulling:
Fiber: Shetland from Spunky Ecelectic Fiber of the Month club; December 2006 I think.
Two Ply yarn, spun semi worsted.
I could have sworn I spun 8 ounces, but now have just over 7. Wierd.
I fulled it with a hot/cold/hot/cold/hot washing and rinsing in the sink. Whacked against the counter many times for good measure. It sure puffed up! I’m not sure I like fulling it quite that much, as it doesn’t have quite the shine it did before. Of course the plying evened out a lot; and it hangs dead straight now.

Oh, how pretty!!! I do love Spunky Eclectic fibers! I picked some up from her at SPA in February and was so pleased with the results. I am fighting the urge to make a trip up to her store…fighting hard!
