Oh the Yarn


I am excited to tell you about this latest yarn, called Lucious, that I posted in my Etsy shop. I spun this up using the last of some mill end roving I had, but the exciting part is I spun it on my Navajo Spindle. So this is my first skein to come from this spindle, and it is my largest skein I have listed in my shop. I was very happy with how the textured turned out. Though it is a thick/thin it isn't slubby. After I finished spinning it I decided to try a new method of dyeing, I baked the yarn. Crazy, I know, but it turned out really well! Thoughts? What do you think of the color combo?

  1. The color combo is pretty; it's bright without being too summery-it looks like it'll pair well with warmer autumn shades too.
