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.

  1. Your technique becomes more perfected with every skein you spin. I can see how much you put into it. Good Job! It’s beautiful!!
