Hand spun yarn.

Hello again my friends!!

I have been busy spinning away recently. There is nothing like seeing your finished spinning product. I love experiencing the whole process. Recently I had purchased a wool sample pack from a fiber festival  and I didn't really have any plans for it when I purchased it.  After looking at the different colors in the sample pack I set aside a few that I liked and decided to spin them up together. The first 4 colors I picked where a brown, peach, pink, and a blue, pink, and white multi.  I split  the 4 balls in half and then into sections as long as the shaft of my spindle and I set about spinning them up. :) I spun and plyed up both halves in less then 24 hours! I have never spun anything up that fast before!! I was so excited to have it spun and plyed in 24 hours!! It got me into a spinning mood and with the encouragement from a dear friend I decided to spin up the other 4 balls that I had set aside from the sample pack.  The colors for the second yarn was dark purple, grey, a bright purple multi, and a light purple multi. I split them up the same way as the first set and started spinning them up! I finished spinning and plying it up in 24 hours again!! I was so happy with the results if both yarns! I have been spinning three different lace weights recently and it was fun to spin up a thicker yarn and see it spin up so fast.

Well here are some pictures of the finished products!

Here is the first colorway before the twist was set.

Here it is soaking in the hot water.

And here it is in the cold water.

And finally hanging to dry.

I love how the colors turned.

And here is the second colorway.

The colors are so beautiful!

The weather has recently been very warm here and it was perfect for letting my yarn dry outside.  I am hopeing to get started on knitting some fingerless mitts with both color ways. I look forward to showing everyone the finished products with both yarns. I hope you all are enjoying the beatiful fall weather.
