Spinning a yarn..and a suprise !

A week goes by in one breath..it seems. Especially this one, when there were so many custom orders to dye, spin and ply. And especially , when there are fine lace weight yarns on the menu.. it takes time..lots of time ..just to ply a lace weight yarn with meters and meters and meters , time just seems to fly by while the bobbin seems to stand still…Einstein would have agreed with me that time is even more relative while spinning laceweight…lol

 

This week has been filled with spinning yarns and so it would only seem fair to immerse you with some of my yarns this week: Bunny Mink 3 ply. The softest most lush yarn I have on offer at the moment with an amazing yardage/meterage of 300 meters/50 grams.

 

It is a comparable 3 ply and out of this world soft and light. I have spun it without a tight twist and therefore e leaving it soft and drapey and lush. The tendency when spinning short fibres and lace is to add heaps and heaps of twist..spinning on a high ratio….the more twist you add the more you are adding harshness to the finished yarn..balance is the magic word: to add just enough twist to hold all the fibres together and yet let the finished yarn ooze with the softness it deserves.

 

 

Also, back on the menu because of high demand: Badges !!! Just email/message me the nr and the quantity you were after !

 

Surprise !!!!!

 

For those of you after some fibre to spin: well..I wanted to offer you something special and what better way than to surprise you!  I will send you a surpise pack of two tops normally $24 each and a surprise !!!  for the amazing price of $39+postage ! Just mention SURPRISE and how many you would like, YOur fav colours (I will do my best to make you happy ! )

 

 

Please don't hesitate to contact me at any time if you have any questions okay?

 

 

Always happy to enable. All my contact details are to be found at the end of this weeks blog entry. Have fun !!!
