I didnt think I
could spin up any yarn after my accident with my right hand, but with perserverance, using my Babe Spinning Wheel I am happy with the result.Using white merino 22 micron for each bobbin and plying a different colour metalic thread, I then dyed them to blend in.
Red
metalic thread & burgundy wool yarn: Dyed red/brown/black.Blue metalic thread & blue wool yarn: Dyed sapphire blue/green.
Mauve metalic thread & pink wool yarn: Dyed purple/shades blue.
The metalic yarn gives this hand spun wool a wonderful Zing, with Bling, thanks to Ning.
