The last few days have been all about wool. I've done some more dyeing with Kool-Aid. I used four plain white merino 50g braids that I bought at Lettuce Knit recently.
This one is called Koi pond:
This one is called Lilac:
and lastly this one is Rusty Ship, because it reminds me of rust on an old ship:
I did two braids in this colourway (100g) so that I would have enough yarn to finish a project. I can't wait to spin these! After spinning plain brown for so long, it's so fun to be spinning colours again. I just finished spinning this corriedale braid from Kristyn of
Pleasurecraft:
into this:
Spinning 2-ply is my favourite now. I think this skein is Sport weight (around 14 WPI).
Today I've been doing some drum carding, I rented the Louet Junior drum carder from Lettuce Knit. I'll show that next!

!!! Those are awesome! Great spinning too - makes me want to get out my wheel tonight!
I'm always amazed at how all the random splashes of colour come together to make the most gorgeous yarn. So fab :)
