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 ! 😁🧶
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' 😉
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 is 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. 📸
The yarn is absolutely gorgeous. Most places seem to no longer call yarn grist by names, but they use numbers which have bunched up several close sized groups. I've been using up some commercial yarn for a knitting project and have discovered that #4 (medium), has quite a bit of variation across the skeins. Not helpful!
