I participated in a Spin Along on Ravelry from Boho Knitter Chic. The theme was Alice In Wonderland. My batt was based on "The Cheshire Cat" - in purples, rosy pink and creamy white. When I got the batt I decided to ply it with an organic cotton thread I had recently purchased specifically for the purpose of using for plying yarns or to use as the core thread on core spun yarns. The thread matched the batt perfectly. I don't have pics of the batt before spinning, sorry...I was too excited to get started and get it spun up!
Here's the finished yarn, which I called "Lush Lilacs" because it reminds me of the lilacs on the bushes that I used to pass as I walked up Cheyenne Canon to my grade school.
And on the wheel now, a merino and silk roving by Rogue Adventures in her Autumn in Oregon colorway.
I am spinning this nice and thin and will Navajo ply it to retain the color definition so it will look similar to Reggae on the River.
Oh, again, it's so happy!
ReplyDeleteI just love these spring colors. Especially on a dreary, rainy day.
I love the lush lilac, it reminds me of the huge lilac bushes that my dad had
