Since I missed posting yesterday, as of today there are 18 days until Stitches Midwest! I prepped a ton more fiber yesterday - this time, merino wool for art yarns and Polworth wool that will probably be spun into single ply skeins.
The majority of yarns I will have at Stitches Midwest will be either bamboo single ply skeins, or my FunctionArt Art Yarns. But, I WILL have some other yarns and today I have pictures of two of these!
First, I will have quite a few skeins of handspun merino wool and tencel blend single ply skeins. These work great for shawls and scarves and I specifically spin this blend alot because of the sheen the tencel provides. One of the colors I'll have is dyed by Cloudlover Yarn & Fiber, her colorway "Haunted Vineyard"....
Here is an example of a shawl I knit from yarn I spun from another of her colorways. This shawl was knit with about 1-1/2 skeins...
Second, I will have a few skeins of handspun two-ply yarns, mostly in superwash merino wool. Here is one of the colors I'll have...again, a color dyed by Cloudlover Yarn & Fiber...she calls it North by Northwest...but I have called my skeins "Woodland Holiday".....
Now I'm off to spin more art yarns!
