So while we're doing green hand spun yarn, here's another I completed recently. I have had this fibre for many years and it was long overdue to be spun up. It's Corriedale that I bought from Aurelia Fibres (of Merritt, BC). I think the fleece was dyed in and came from New Zealand if I trust my memories. Bought at a spin in in the Okanagan many years ago.
Drafting up the floof went very well. It didn't behave badly at all and was a very pleasant spin. Made me wonder why I took so long to do it!
I divided the fibre into two equal portions and later when plying, I purposely plied them from opposites to get some 'barber poling' effect.
Just the one skein.
Dime for showing the grist better.
The skein went from a puddle...... to a cake.
It reminded me of a pleasant afternoon sitting in a grape arbour in 2009, in the Okanagan Valley.
