Blue and Yellow Twist

Posted by Peanut in YellowWoolSpinBlue

This is my second batch of home spun yarn. I made it last Sunday in the afternoon and part of the evening. It feels really nice and is much more even than my first batch.

The roving was left over from Erin’s felting class a few weeks ago (notice the place-mat from December 12th). It has shorter fibers than the brown stuff so I figured it would probably be a little more fiddly to work with and did a little more preparation before I started spinning.

This is just a scarf but I rather like it so I thought I’d put it up. Scarf knitting is especially pleasant
