Saturday spinning update: cabled yarn
This week I tried something new to me when it comes to plying. I started to spin some Corriedale. It’s Distant Thunder from Southern Cross Fibre. In the past I’ve not been very thrilled about spinning Corriedale, so I was relieved … Continue reading

Saturday spinning update: no confidence boost
This week I pulled out some Rambouillet fibre that I bought (from cjdelights on Etsy) intending to spin during the 2012 Tour de France as it passed through Rambouillet. That timing didn’t work out, but the fibre was still waiting … Continue reading

Saturday spinning update: quick batt
I didn’t want to spend too much time spinning this week to give my recovering back a bit of a break. I took out the 50g batt that I got at The Purple Purl in Toronto: The label says “Jenn’s … Continue reading
Saturday spinning update: Sweet Georgia
Last September when I got my wheel (at Just Knitting in Carleton Place) I also got some lovely SweetGeorgia superwash merino to spin up. This week’s braid was Stella: Lovely, no? I divided it up into 4 equal amounts. The … Continue reading

Saturday spinning update: soft merino
This week I spun up some merino from a lovely local dyer. Genevieve (Turtlepurl on Artfire & Etsy) dyed up this braid of superwash merino in a colourway called “Berry Picking”. I spun it on my Louet Julia. I split … Continue reading
