handspun
/I was finally taking some pictures of the various handspun things I've done for Ravelry, so why not go through them here as well?
(Pretty much all of these are spun S, plyed Z.)
Spunky Eclectic club April '15, Golden Fields on Cheviot
This one was spindle spun. On the left spun semi woolen, using faux rolags, then chain plyed. On the right spun semi woolen, two ply. It's very soft, but very wooly feeling.
Spunky Eclectic club, Nov 14, Black pearl on Black Merino
The Black Pearl merino is spindle spun, and my first attempt at chain plying. I actually like it a lot, despite it being slightly over plyed.
Spunky Eclectic Sept 15 club fiber, Squash Blossom on Corridale
Practice 8 oz that I spun on the mini spinner, just messing around. Some of it is semi woolen spun, some is worsted. I did two ply here after winding into two plying balls.
Spunky Eclectic club, Dec 14, Anemone on BFL
aka the fiber in the blog header! Spindle spun, chain plyed. Probably the finest spun and most even spin as well. I'd say this is about a fingering weight.
Spunky Eclectic club March '15, Nebula on Falkland
Very fluffy despite being spun semi worsted weight. Two ply, and I'm pretty happy with the amount of ply twist here. Spun on a spindle.
My second ever spin, of green BFL top from Rhinebeck last year. I can't remember where I got it from though. A bit heavier than fingering weight, two ply on a spindle.
Briar Rose polworth top
third ever spin, and probably the biggest amount on a spindle. I'd say it's about sport weight and three ply on a spindle. From Briar Rose.
