Readers of this blog will be familiar with my efforts to spin sock yarn. I previously made some very not sock yarn, although it turned out well.
Since then, I decided to give it one more try – at least this time the yarn is fingering-ish weight, and the beautiful hand-dyed indigo BFL is showing its heritage here.
But I think that my efforts to make woolen sock yarn are over. Having a copy of Clara Parkes sock book, it’s clear that I need to spin worsted. Not sure what I’ll do with this experiment, but eventually the right project will come forward.
Also, I’m doing some projects for other people – I know, the selfish-knitting thing is going badly. But look at the pretty yarn I got!
Ah, Malabrigo, your colors are amazing!
Tomorrow, I’m off on a trip for a couple of days, likely to rain, so I’ll be stopping by the lovely yarn & fiber store!
