Today one of the things that I have learned is ‘when spinning variegated fibre don’t spin one dark section, one light section, and then a second dark section, 2-ply with an Andean Bracelet, and then expect it all to be roughly evenly coloured!’  Next time I will remember to try to setup my single so that I ply light with dark most of the way along it, rather than dark with dark and light with light.

I’m currently working with a Merino/Tencel blend called Fairy Wings from Spincerely‘s etsy store.  Doesn’t it look just luscious?  It feels that way too!  I love the feel of the drop spindles I’ve been using recently, from Dragoncraft.  They’re about an ounce and a quarter – just the right weight for me.  This one they made just for me!

The plan is for this yarn to be made into a Beach Glass shawl for my little sister.  At the moment I probably have 1/3 of the yarn I need.
