Recreating yarn
I loved the element yarn I spun for my Beyond The Fringe artwork. Recently I went through my stash to see if I had leftover material to make some more. I had more yarn and fiber to make the water yarn. My goal was to recreate this:
And I succeeded! The wound up ball is the older skein:
This was a good challenge for me. I learned more about control while spinning. Typically I rush myself when plying, probably because I’m so excited to finish. I am learning to slow down and take my time to ensure the finished yarn is what I want.
I now have about 140 yards of this yarn. There’s some other blue yarn in my stash and I plan to knit up a swatch to see if they compliment each other.
