Softies...

Merino and silk are such a pleasure to spin. This is the result from the fiber I posted last time.
This is only 34 yards... but soooo soft.
Navajo ply.

I didn't have much time to post as my brother was sick again... 
Next fiber...
more left over merino/silk 
turned into this...
238 yards of beautiful tweedy soft yarn.

I have some stitch markers too
large ones and regular ones too

Now back to some Pickwick locks to be washed...

More Corriedale...

I have been spinning... and spinning and spinning.
I made a second skein 2ply  and this skein is 16wpi (fingering weight).Over 500 yards total for this colorway

Then I went silly Navajo plying making about  44 yards.

How about some more fun... 82 yards Navajo plying.
I like Navajo plying making a 3ply  from one single, no worries to weight the fiber and splitting.... freedom

I really like how this one turned out.
The weather wasn't really nice so I was enjoying spinning this joyous yarn. I'm calling this skein Carnaval de Rio... Dreaming of some south warm sandy beach...

Next I will be playing with a little bit of this,
I wonder what it will look like Navajo plying, this should be softer on the skin too.
