Finally got the yarn washed and dried. 8 ounces of fingering weight, three ply yarn in superwash merino. The singles were spun on a drop spindle, Ashford Joy (single treadle), Lendrum, Ashford joy (double treadle) and plied on a butterfly electric spinner.
I can’t wait to knit with it!

A much better view of the colors in my latest handspun yarn. This one skein is 7.2 ounces of Superwash merino dyed by The Dyeing Arts, bought from the Loopy Ewe (using a gift certificate from my wonderful friend Marta). Another 0.8 ounces left to ply up. This was all done on ONE bobbin on my butterfly espinner using a Woolee Winder. Yowsa!

Not much new to report lately (Although I did finish spinning some yarn). I had a friend take some photos of the kids and us as a family recently (She does a great job btw http://jennifertai.net/ (warning – there’s music)). My son wore the sweater I made him; and wow – it fits great. It looks so great on him it was worth blogging about again :)
Yarn : Worsted Weight lorna’s laces in blackwatch.
Pattern: Knitting simple top down child’s sweater
