Some Spinning

How I do love spinning. Here are some trinkets to take a look at, all experimental, for me, in a way. 

The yarn on the bobbin is the start of a more complicated skein. It's almost every ounce I have of some really nice, and soft, brown wool. It's probably a light worsted or a DK. It's not entirely consistent in thickness throughout, but I'm happy with it. I also enjoy loading the bobbin right up, now that I know how to play with the wheel's tension when need be.

The other two were fun. Very fun. Their thickness is a little lighter, but I wouldn't call them fingering. These are some of my first little spinning jewels.

With these two, I experimented with the dye. In the skein, the teal one has a nice ombre from the top of the skein to the bottom. The dye job is really more of a wash. I hope the recipient likes it and sends me pictures of it knit. My only regret is that the skein is so small.

With the pink one, I tried something I wasn't sure the yarn would recover from. I tied the skein at the top, split the body of it into multiple sections, and dyed each section with different intensities of the same dye. Boy, did that thing get tangled. But.... I saved it, and again, I hope the recipient likes it and sends me knit up pictures!
