Hey guys! I spun up a storm this week! I took 8.5 oz of superwash fiber and turned it into 1000+ yards of 2 ply sock yarn in about a week. I am amazed at how fast I was spinning. Here is the final product
This is calling my name! It is trying to tell me to forget the dozen or so projects that I already have on the needles and start knitting something with it. I am resisting, but my resolve is very very weak.
I have been working on my Spiderweb shawl every night, but I don’t think I have any less yarn in the ball. I have come to the conclusion that it has begun breeding. I knit and knit and knit, but I don’t ever come any closer to being done! I think I am going to focus on this project now because I want it done so I can wear it on Halloween.
By request I have set up a tutorial on one of the ways to fix a broken single if you find yourself in posession of one as you are plying. It is written in the great tradition of those old 50’s instructional film strips.
I have also been in the middle of a major shop update. There is free shipping now on everything in the shop to anywhere in the US or Canada.

oh my, that yarn looks so beautifully produced and it would beckon anyone to knit it! It’s quite gorgeous!

That yarn is great – I like the way the colors look all autumny and rustic. Kind of like Indian corn.
