Back In Action

Thank you guys for all of your well wishes yesterday, I feel a million times better today and am so excited to be posting. It took way longer then I had planned but I have finally finished the purple and pink pencil roving. I decided not to ply it because I would only have gotten 50 or so yards and I think it might have looked weird. So weighing in at 1.7 ounces and 104 yards, I introduce to you my first ever pencil roving yarn!


It took me so much longer than I thought it would but it is finally done. I actually still need to wash it but I just couldn't wait to show you guys. I will probably post another picture once it has been washed and dried. I love all the colors in it and it really makes me think of a party. It doesn't have a real name yet and I would love all of your opinions on what I could name it. I am going to finish spinning my light purple merino wool next before I start anything new. I hope you all have a great Friday!

    Woo hoo! Such a beautiful skein of handspun! You are making me want to pick my spindle up right this minute, although I'm not sure if I could ever get a skein that cheerful and colorful though! Congrats!

      Thank you so much! It is probably one of the skeins I am most proud of!

    Zoey, I absolutely love your new yarn! Those colors really are like a party: it reminds me of those brightly-colored carousel horses at the fair. I've never tried spinning pencil roving before, but now I really want to!
