What I'm spinning Sunday aka spamming Sunday

[untonuggan]

Sorry for posting all the things! It's just one of those days...

Since spinning is helping my dizziness, I have a ready excuse to leave fibre strewn across the domicile spin a lot. Here are some recent examples...if I mention a funny word like "Targhee" or "Black Welsh Mountain" it is probably a breed of sheep.


(sorry for ALL THE FLASH)
From the left:
Black Welsh Mountain Sheep/Art Batt 50/50 blend (18 yards) - a black and multi-colored yarn
Black Welsh Mountain/Finnsheep 50/50 blend (about 79 yards) - a black and cream yarn
Targhee/Art Batt Blend 50/50 and also a smaller ball underneath - no idea of the exact yardage but probably about 20? - a cream and multi-colored yarn
All are thick-and-thin but bordering on heavy worsted/chunky.

I'm thinking SHAWL.



A simple hat knit from the Targhee/Art Batt blend (so cream and multicolored). Highly textured. Very squishable. Still need to weave in the ends.



I ordered some more art batt from Etsy and the seller sent me a small sampler of some other roving she sells (well, technically top, but we won't go there.) I spun it up in a short amount of time and OMG IT'S SO GREEN AND PINK AND FUN. I have yet to full it, so it's a little kinked in the photo. It's about 14 yards, which I think would make a nice stripe in another project or something. Or maybe an amigurumi? Or cell phone cozy? I don't know. It was fun, though. Is fun.

Thank you for your patience with my PICTURES OMG.

Probably will cross-post or cross-link to knitting .

Eeee! Gorgeous! I especially love the Welsh/Finn blend; I used to have a scarf made from that kind of colorway, and I adored it. Now I want to go spin some of it myself. An excuse for a new project! *g*

And the hat is great!
