New Colors

I dyed a bunch of 1oz pieces of roving last week. Then I was stuck to figure out something to do with it. Yesterday I whipped out the drum carder and started cranking. I used white merino, yellow BFL, green merino and green Angelina flash. medium_roving_to_yarn_080.jpg The flash is the hardest to see but you can almost see it in this picture. It is spinning up into a very pretty combo. Different for me as I tend to lean more towards blues/pinks/purples. It should end up being a nice light worsted 2 ply. medium_roving_to_yarn_078.jpg So now I have the blue, purple and magenta pieces left so I think I will combine them with the white merino or white BFL. Angelina or not, I am not sure. I know it kind of makes it "novelty" yarn then but I use it very lightly and it seem really to be just a little sparkle. We will see what mood I am in when I card. I really need to get on a dyeing kick but I just haven't been in the mood this week. Just playing with what I already have done. Using stash is a good thing.

That's nice spinning. I can't wait 'til I get to that point.

You have chosen some nice spring colors.
Knit on!
