Handspun sock yarn, FTW!

January 25, 2010

Don Cherry (the spinning wheel) and I have a very meaningful relationship. Proof:

I’ve decided not to keep this beauty, but put it up in the shop instead.

South African Fine Wool

3-ply

445 yards

Dyed by moi with acid dyes.

Somehow, I managed to throw my back out and will now hobble back to the couch and resume knitting the socks out of the yarn from the last post while watching costume dramas. I’m knitting them on size 0s!

Oh, your spinning is just beautiful and SO consistent! I’m feeling your back pain — wholly moley Molly, hope you feel better soon (knitting does help)!!!!

  Thanks so much, Cathy! My new wheel and I understand each other!
  
  The back is better, thanks! Not perfect, but I’m able to get out of a chair without a string of profanities flying out of my mouth!
