Looking at my spinning projects, all so tempting and numerous, I know that really I should just concentrate on one and actually try to finish something. Yet somehow I accidentally ended up on Etsy and once again fell in love with some
Shunklies fibre. Luckily I’m really unsure exactly how I want to spin them, so hopefully by the time I’ve come up with a plan I will have possibly completed another project.
These are 2 beautiful bright
bright bright merino batts, with little mohair curls. I can’t decide if I want to spin a yarn which gradually goes from blue to pink throughout the whole skein or if I’d like it to phase back and forth in gradual stripes. I like the idea of both, but wonder whether the latter would suit my attention span a little better!
This is a blend of merino and silk and once again I just fell in love with the colours. I’d like to make a 4-ply with this, but I’d also like it to stripe. I think this may involve me splitting up the entire thing, grouping the colours and laying them out carefully in the right order. This sounds like effort, so I can’t imagine I’ll be starting any time soon. I’m enjoying the planning of it anyhow.
And finally, this is the reason I ended up on Etsy having my little fibrey accident.
I was having a little look for jewellery for the wedding and I hope you’ll agree that this is just perfect. Those two little birdies look so happy and content sharing their little branch that I just couldn’t resist. The shop is
here bird fans.
