I bought this wool fibre from e-bay. I bought it because it said it was already clean and ready to use... what I didn't realise is that it was described as good for felting because the process was already started :-(
It stayed in its bag for a wee while and then I decided I was going to do something with it... so I dyed it. I put in any shade of red/pink/orangey red I could get my hands on.
... spun the blessed mess and knitted it on to a lopsided scarf (learnt about the knitting unbalanced singles in the process).
So far it looks like this. I've spun and Navajo plied some Leaf colourway silk and I'm knitting little leaves to decorate it... so this one is...
To be continued
Also waiting to have fun with these mystery wool batts I blended on Sunday (There must be some Merino there as it's gorgeously soft and fluffy).
...and I'm also working on the Colour theory section of Textiles 1 - I'll be taking pictures and posting an OCA inspired blog in a little while... but not before or shortly after next weekend as I'm planning to visit Woolfest and I might be even more tangled in wool... shame! ;-)
