West Coast Colour...

This was my prize from Team Canada 

on the TDF2015.

The colourway name is:   P.M.S.

65% Polwarth, 10% Silk, 25% Yearling Mohair.

100grams

It's an absolute soft delight to spin never a dull moment while the colours keep changing and it's keeping you spinning.

This was so much fun to spin.

I have opted for  Navajo plying for this beautiful yarn.

I like this resulting skein, it was a real pleasure working this top.

I would love to buy some more in the future.

I did check the website it's under construction so I guess it would be easier

to contact her directly on Ravelry:   Sheepkeeper.

Thanks for the wonderful prize.

Lavender Merino

This was a TDF prize

from: Fiber Detours Boutique

Ashford

100% Merino Lavender  100 grams

Really soft but I found the fibers were quite irregular on the short side.

Not what I'm used to from Ashford.

 It was a little tricky to spin fine as there was some very short fibers mixed with longer ones,

 after washing the skein I whacked it good to full the fibers, I think it turned out ok.

Made almost 400 yards. The color is nice and it is soft as a baby skin.

I don't know yet what I will do with it yet.... back to the wheel for more spinning.
