As it turns out, my secret pal hand dyes and spins yarns. She is obviously very talented! Now the pressure is on for me create something worthy of all this unique yarn.
My three favorite skeins are pictured individually below. Debra, please feel free to share more accurate descriptions, and fiber contents of each of them here. One of the non pictured skeins is spun very tightly, resulting in a springy corkscrew, I am very curious about this one, what to do with this type of yarn. I am anxious to knit with it.
Rosco's end that is.
Stay tuned in...Tomorrow I will share photos of what I have been working on the last few days, my first knitting in almost a month. Also... New yarn porn.
wow

ReplyDeleteWhat a great secret pal, the yarn looks almost like Ozark Handspun. Very very cool! I also love the Cat Bordhi books. My fav is socks on circulars. Love your fingerless gloves by the way, I really think you should make some that have flames like your tattoo's. ;)
