How’s your Tour de Fleece going? I’ve spun about 8 ounces over two days, not a huge amount but not too shabby for me, I tend to be poky.
I have an important PSA (Public Spinning Announcement) for all of you: When using a a control sample yarn, don’t hang it too close to your wheel’s orifice.
Be safe when you’re spinning kids, or you too will be spouting many colorful words.
By now you all know that my Happy Camper Fiber Retreat is coming up in September. I’ll be teaching a class on combining variegated tops, it’s fun and it’s great way to help control a stash that’s mostly different colored 4 oz braids. Rita, who is teaching dyeing at the retreat, and Carla are both dyeing their own versions of a colorway with the same inspiration to be used as the base colorways for my class. The inspiration is Flannel Shirt. Perfect for camp.
Carla shared with me some dyeing process pictures this weekend, have a look:
Do you like it? I do, but then it’s based on a flannel shirt I own!
Very clever tips about the dental floss. Very clever indeed.
Spinning is going well I’m a 2oz a day gal. I spin fairly thin. Doesn’t matter how much I get done, just happy spending time behind the wheel:-)
I have a flannel shirt in just those colors, too. I love it. Colors, flannel–although the colors would go equally well on wool!
