Marlene's Scarf Exchange 2009

What a lovely scarf Marlene has crochet for this years Scarf Exchange at Kurrajong Handspun Crafts Inc.
Using lovely beige wool. Marlene spun it up and added pre dyed yellow and orange wisps of mohair to dress up the colour.
I know I would be lucky to received such a lovely scarf.

Marlene is a very talented lady when it comes to wool. She can spin it, knit it, crochet it, felt it.

A member of the Coffs Spinners who has inspired us with her own designs.

She is also a good cook and often brings a plate for us to sample.

Hand Spun Yarns

I just love looking at the colour of these multi coloured hanks of yarn.
I guess I am allowed to say it. I used the Cheeses from Nundle so they are more of an even thickness.
I am hoping to find time to knit up a pair of socks, as I am getting enticed with all these socks patterns available as they look so good.
Then this (bottom) photo is of my own spun wool using carded pre-dyed fleece, blending and plying back with matching yarn and some metalic thread
Plus black alpaca with many coloured mohairs randomly spun in.
Also a finely spun up yarn of multi dyed tussah silk in greys to maroon.

If you are thinking what are these Cheeses, refer to earlier post 15th July 09 as I have From Cheese to Yarn. If I have room at the Quilt Show Coffs Harbour I will have them for sale.
