Spinning up a Rainbow of colours



I am already setting my sights on the things to come : the hand knitters guild in May and the Bendigo show in July! It is going to be a huge couple of months trying to get everything ready and also a lot of new exciting things happening, including new yarns, new fibres and with the Lair of the Bearded Dragon making some awesome one of a kind artwork spindles: yes there will be some very very special spindles at the shows as well !!!

This time of year is always spinning til my feet drop off time...lol...just to prepare fro the hand knitters show :-)  I am particularly happy with the new art yarns  I am working on with hand sewn little bunnies  and almost ready for next months show! Really excited about those and the fancy slubby art yarns. I am sure that all of you who spin know how much time and love goes into handspun yarns. It is filled with love, passion and a lot of patience.

So, if somebody asks me what I have been doing these last few weeks, I can honestly say they have been been filled with spinning , spinning and more spinning . Not only for custom orders but also in preparation for the shows and because I have had so many requests for the loooooong repeat colourways, I can offer you three different loooong repeat colourways in 4 ply and a lot more  colourways , excellent for shawls and weaving!!!


The shawls you see above is called a Citron shawl and the pattern is free and available on Ravelry. I only used 140grams of the 4ply yarn in Rainbow and it is truly Huge ! I knitted it on needles 4, but I would knit it on 5mm next time to make it even bigger and a bit more open.

Or you could knit these amazingly cute mitts with the rainbow 4ply , just starting from the opposite scale of the colour spectrum when doing the intarsia !
 
So, this week it is all going to be focussed on yarn…the looong repeat yarns in fab new colourways..YUMMM!


All the dates and information for the shows and events to come are at the bottom of this weeks “Dates to put in your Calendar!” - bit. There is lots of new exciting stuff planned.

Have a fun weekend and happy spinning, knitting, weaving and crocheting !
