She got it spun up last week and I finally got to bring it home.
As soon as the Solo shawl is on the blocking board, I'll be knitting this one up!

Handspun heaven
A few months back, Mom and I were at The Fibre Garden, a little spinning shop a few towns over. I picked out a nice little bit of merino/silk fiber for her to spin for me.. a natural white with touches of pastel purple and pink .
She got it spun up last week and I finally got to bring it home.
I'd planned to make a nice squishy cowl with it.. but then I got to thinking....
If I pair it with the Black Lamb Classic Bunny (Merino Angora) I got a couple of years ago from the Frolic... I can really make something large and squishy... (and fluffy!)

Oh.....yummy!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh pretty! Having access to altogether too much hand-dyed yarn and now handspun too must be crazy temptation!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I'll be so interested in seeing you mix them up
ReplyDeleteIt's got a lovely sheen and I think it'll be pretty with the wool.
ReplyDeleteoooooooo...that spun yarn is so beautiful! I can't wait to see what the pairing brings.
ReplyDeleteHappy knitting!
That yarn looks so soft and cuddly. Love the creamy color too!
