Stroll Through the Forest Path

Oh my goodness, I had the most fun spinning this! I've been working on it on and off for about three weeks.

The fiber is a 70/30 Merino/Seacell blend from Creatively Dyed, Forest Path colorway.

I made a traditional 3 ply yarn and got about 564 yds at 17wpi. There were leftovers that got plied into two different mini skeins. One is a 2 ply and the other is a Navajo ply yarn.

This fiber spins like butter and the resulting yarn is just as soft! I love just running my fingers down the length of the skein.

I've got no idea what I'll make with this, but I'm immensely pleased with how it turned out.

The seacell provided a lovely sheen that my photos didn't fully capture. I do really like this one, with just the spill of the strands.


I took this on a trip with me last weekend! A friend of mine (who is blogless!), Nancy, asked our friend Aimee and me if we'd like to have a knitting/spinning weekend at her cabin. We went and had such a lovely time! Lots of knitting, a little spinning, and lots of relaxation!

When I got back, I set out to finally finishing this. I really wanted to see what it would look like when it was done, so I spun like crazy on Tuesday and plied like crazy yesterday. Skeined and washed it before work last night and woke up to beautiful dry yarn this morning!

It bloomed a bit in the washing, which I love. It's very squishy and soft.
