New Handspun

April 7, 2010 By Carole

Remember all those singles I showed you last week? There were 4 bobbins full in one photo plus 3 center pull balls in another photo. That’s a lot of singles, dear reader!

7 skeins

I’ve been plying like crazy to get them finished and – behold! They are singles no more!

It was a regular sweatshop around here, I tell you, but it feels great to have empty bobbins and 7 finished skeins of yarn.

Now I can go ahead and fill them up again!

    And what will they become? Or are you like me, happy with the yarn?

  7. Tina M. says

    April 7, 2010 at 8:38 am

    I am suitably impressed, that’s a lot of plying! Do what my dad does, kiss yourself on the arm for being so awesome. Or maybe it’s just funnier when you see a Tall Dark & Handsome Puerto Rican retired corrections officer do it.

    Moving on. 😛

    Any plans for the yarn?

    Nice colors. You feel good, huh? I told you!

    Any ideas on what you want to knit with your beautiful new stash?

  10. Paulette says

    April 7, 2010 at 9:58 am

    Beautiful yarn! Must be very satisfying to knit something from yarn that you spun and plied yourself! It’s fun to just look at for a while, too.

  11. Nora says

    April 7, 2010 at 10:22 am

    So pretty – it must feel great to have the job done!

  12. elizabeth says

    April 7, 2010 at 11:51 am

    That’s the best thing about spinning – getting to do it all over again! Did you ply any contrasting colors together, or put each with its own?

  13. Hillary says

    April 7, 2010 at 12:08 pm

    Beautiful yarn. I can’t wait to see what you spin next.

  14. Cathy R says

    Hey Congratulations! That is a lot of really beautiful handspun.

    You inspired me to sit down and work on my own personal slog… a large lace stole for my mom. I hit the “halfway point” on the third (and last section) last night and did a happy dance.

    Only five hundred more rows (perpendicular short edging rows) to go!!

    triple times love.
    That’s a lot of plying baby!

  16. Karen says

    Woo Hoo!

    Well done!

    I knew enslaving Dale would pay off. ;^)

  19. Lucia says

    April 7, 2010 at 5:47 pm

    Well done! And you also get to ogle your new yarn and decide what to make with it.

  20. DebbieB says

    April 7, 2010 at 5:59 pm

    YAY YARN!

  21. Beth says

    April 7, 2010 at 9:32 pm

    Beautiful! Congratulations on all the plying. Which yarn is your favorite?
