I wound off the spinning from yesterday, and measured the wpi, that's wraps per inch, the way you measure various yarn weights. This is 24 wpi, laceweight, I told you it was fine.
Then I went on to the darker fleece, slightly different texture, and harder to see dark guard hairs on dark fiber. I dizzed this then spun from the fiber bunched up in my hand, i expect there's a technical term for this that I don't know. Dizzing dealt with a lot of hairs, but there are still a few. I can pull them as I go.
And I will soon have a tiny quantity of laceweight cashmere yarn and a question to self about what to make with it. Eggcosy? Dolliver scarf? Pin for self? Suggestions warmly received.
Oh dear - I wouldn't be mentioning scarves to the D's or you'll be opening up a hornet's nest. I vote for pin for you!
ReplyDeleteIt might be safer, yes.
DeleteI didn't realize you had some dark fleece too. Since you have two shades you could really get some dimension in what you make. Suggestions? This sounds silly but could you make a tiny goat pin?
ReplyDeleteThat's definitely an idea, thank you!
DeleteA Dolliver scarf sounds wonderful.
