Yarny Tuesday

Look what arrived yesterday!

Stack o' yarn. Is there anything better? Two guesses for what this is going to be. (Shhhh... Shana. don't tell)

I pulled the brown Corriedale singles off my drop spindle yesterday (it'll be obvious why in a bit) and overall I'm happy with how it turned out. I think I'll spin the second batch on my wheel, though, since it took me maaaany hours to make this small amount.



I needed the drop spindle for a project. After dyeing my first wheel-spun singles I saw that there were a few massively under spun sections. Since I have specific plans for this yarn and I really want it to be usable and pretty, I popped the skein of singles on my swift and ran through the whole thing on my spindle, fixing the major problems as I went. It took for-freaking-ever and I hope to never do that again. But it was worth it. Now my two lavender singles are ready for plying!
