Houston, we have yarn.
I have spent many hours of my life creating this:
These pictures were taken before I set the twist, but it's not much different now.
Call me crazy, but I think it was worth it. However, I'm not about to spin the rest of the seemingly billions of ounces I have left on drop spindles. No, sir. I want a spinning wheel, this I have determined for sure. Yes, it was a nice adventure, and relaxing, and fun, but I've got too much fiber and I'd like it to be consistent.
The resulting yarn is extremely light and extremely soft. While plying, I didn't much care for the colors I was getting spun together, but in a skein it looks quite pleasant. I think it would be neat to find a coordinating, solid fiber, spin that, and ply this with it. Then again, it might be strange.
What'll I do with this? I think I'll do a lacy scarf with beads, likely just toward the ends. I'm going to play up the zaniness with some bright, shiny baubles.
In other news, I'm just past the splitting part of Vicky and am just starting the lace of the Wings wrap (and I think I messed up already... blech).
If anyone has spinning blogs to suggest, please do so. I'm finding them more interesting and inspiring than knitting blogs lately (maybe because everyone's in summertime-clothes-mode and I just can never seem to get going in that vein).
