#Akhuna makes yarn

[akhuna]

About 11(!) years ago, when I was very new to spinning, I bought Merino fiber in red, green, brown and black. A bit of it got spun up and I don't know where it is, but I've been spinning up the rest of the black merino and started on the brown. I'm going to ply them together, I think.

@akhuna it's easier to reply longer in a post, especially since I want to attach some some pics.

Thank you for the offer, but I think I will leave knitting to my mum. I just got a shawl/scarf from her:

And I'm happy to leave knitting for her, I will stick to sewing (for her as well, from time to time).

Here's the jumper she made for me, the yarn is 77% alpaca and 23% silk, it's super light and super soft, I love it:

And here's one she finished recently for herself, mostly for fun, I guess, because the yarn was funny. Too much yellow for me, but I like how colors on the back/front match the colors on the sleeves:

In my crochet shawl, I do hope the ombre will make up for the simplicity of the pattern I'm using. So far the shawl is growing fast enough for me to actually see it (I'm using kitchen weight to check how much of the yarn I used xd).

So I bought a Dealgan (Scottish Spindle) at the last fibre festival ... LOVE. This is love.

Finished plying the black and brown Merino a few days ago - now I "only" have to skein, wash, weigh and measure it! :)

This little dealgan is FULL OF YARN! 🥰

Unearthed a year-old spinning project! This is two weeks of progress (I'm very slow) of spinning Jacob Fibre.

More pictures of the Daelgan (it's love). I don't think I'll be able to fit all of this fibre onto it in one go. XD

I just ordered a kilo of uni-coloured sock yarn.

That's all.
