I have had a productive day at the spinning wheel today. A few days ago I spun almost a whole bobbin full of a llama roving that had a bit of burgundy ingeo running through it. I have been trying to decide what I would do with it next and today it hit me. I have some fall colored handdyed wool that I spun fairly thin. Then I plied the two singles together. It has two plies of the Llama/ingeo and one ply of the harvest colored singles. I just love how this turned out. I haven't washed it yet so I am sure that will help it to plump out more, but so far it is a good worsted weight. The llama gives it a nice silky softness although I am not sure about it being nice close to your skin. We will have to see what happens after the bath. This skein is a little over 100 yards. And the nice thing is that I have a ton more of the llama/ingeo and plenty of the harvest wool to make a lot more. Hmmmm... what does this want to become?
