🌎 Mother Earth ~ version 2

 It might seem that all I have been doing lately is spinning but it's more a case of tidying up and getting projects wrapped  and done.    To clear my desk off !  πŸ˜πŸ§Ά

A few years ago now I bought some lovely spinning top from an Etsy shop called Beesybee  and loved the fibre blend of merino and mulberry silk and the vibrant blue / green shades in the top.    I ordered a second batch and then found I had to keep the two batches separate as there was a real colour variation between them.    Disappointing but taught me that I need to order what I want versus going 'economical'   πŸ˜‰

So Mother Earth version 2 gave me, between the 4 skeins,  a total of 324 grams or 11.4 ounces of 2 ply yarn. There 644.5 metres or 709 yards total.   I have never been a knitter and so unfamiliar with the various knitting weights but I would call this a heavy lace weight.    

Then again, I could be all wrong! 







Okay.... all my spinning is caught up and I promise the next posts will be weaving related.   I have four scarves waiting for their time in front of a camera and a debut here.   πŸ“Έ
