Remember the 8oz of Bluefaced Leicester fiber I really really wanted to spin but was supposed to finish two UFOs first before starting? Well, the oooo pretty lure of the fiber was stronger than my good intentions. Here it is all finished: approximately 522 yds of fingering wt worsted spun, Navajo plied yarn in the Annunaki at Tiamat colorway from Crown Mountain Farms. I just love the colors in this!
Next up is this approx 360 yds of Shetland 3ply fingering yarn in dark brown and white, spun smoothed point of twist from the fold. My idea for this was to make a kind of gradient yarn by starting with three strands of the white, then swapping out one strand at a time until I had three strands of the brown, then reversing. I also experimented a little with changing plying twist to accentuate one color over the other. It didn't come out exactly as I envisioned, but I am pleased with it. I'm thinking of maybe using for a Hitchhiker shawl. This fiber is also from Crown Mountain Farms
