Two days...two hot days but I managed to ply two of my yarns. The first was my basic 2 ply yarn and the second was my first ever successful Navajo Ply yarn which gave me a three ply yarn. I am super excited how it turned out. It's not even and there are a few spots that went wonky but, as a whole, it is fabulous. I am definitely going to keep practicing it so that I can start adding more variety to my handspun.
Lots of spinning...the only green my farm seems to have in this drought is this yarn. Yikes!

Beautiful yarns, Congratulkations on cracking the new technique. I love plying yarn with itself, avoids leftover singles
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I hope you are staying cool enough over there in Michigan!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful yarn!
ReplyDeleteEveryone I've talked to who has done the Navajo Ply loves it. So far I haven't ventured to do it, yet.

I like the green one best!
ReplyDeleteI struggle with Navajo ply but keep trying. Andean plying is a different story...literally had to have my mil cut me out of the mess I made.
ReplyDeleteHow do you make these photo collages? I would like to be able to do that.
ReplyDeleteI downloaded the free Picasa program. It's easy to use and you can do quite a bit with it.
DeleteThanks! I will have to try it.
DeleteNice job! I commend you as I don't want to touch yarn in this heat...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful yarn! Are those with your kool-aid dyed wool from the other day?
ReplyDeleteThe pink is. The green is actually from a batt I created last autumn called squash.
