Spin A Yarn for Ewe

Like I said before the last yarn left me feeling like I was feeling. Kind of blah. I did decided to ply it with the silver thread and blue and silver beads. I like it a lot better now. It is still not bright and bold but it is better.
This yarn is a perfect example of great looking roving does not always make great looking yarn in my opinion. I still love this roving color but I am not sure I can even bring myself to spin up the little that is left. Maybe I will spin it up and ply it with a bright color thread and see what that does. Experiments are one of my favorites and merino and silk should not just be left hanging with no purpose.

For my next project in spinning I think I am going to dye a bunch of my new mohair locks and play with those. Maybe core spinning would be fun to try or just sticking them in so often and leaving the lock sticking out. Maybe blending them on the drum carder with some other dyed wool with some angelina blended in or maybe some of everything.

As you can tell I am finally feeling somewhat better and the sun is out today so all is looking up. My golf lesson also went really well today so I am getting back into my busy groove.

I also have to get some skeins spun up for the "One Skein" Exchange I am in plus I decided to do the Dye-O-Rama one too. I signed up for the WTF group as I don't usually dye yarn and I would hate for someone to get a skein and say "this person doesn't know what they are doing." I also plan on buying the yarn I dye as I am too lazy to spin it too.
