Fresh From the Wheel ~ 3 Ply Natural Romney and Shetland Blend

I just finished spinning a fantastic natural blend of Romney and Shetland wool.  This roving was purchased from smokeymountainfibers on etsy and it was a joy to work with! 

I found that it drafted so easily and I was able to keep it pretty consistent, although almost thread-like.  Because it was so fine, I decided to try doing 3 ply for the first time.  And even with 3 ply, it is closest to a fingering weight that worsted.  

It is a bit coarse so I'm sure this will make a great outer scarf filled with cables that pop. I'm thinking something along the line of an Irish design for this! 

What's on your wheel?

Stocking my etsy shop with handspun yarns

I am now offerning handspun yarns for sale in my etsy shop. I have the first two of many more to come listed and couldn't be more excited! 

This deep vibrant green corridale is lucious and this natural merino wool is so lofty it's almost dreamy!

Keep checking back in my shop as I add more colors and fibers!
