I finished spinning up my latest batch of Chaos Yarn. I have 206 yards this time.

I spun up the scraps into a single and then plyed it with some thin Peruvian yarn some friends brought me back from their vacation.

A close up:

Lori from the Yarn Shop saved up a lot of yarn scraps from the store. That really helped with the yardage and variegation.

I’m thinking of knitting up a funky bag with the yarn.

Here’s Prana posing with the yarn scraps that Lori gave me.

Normally I don’t name my yarns but this one became named as soon as I took it off the niddy-noddy. It’s called Stop The World I Wanna Get Off.

Early this spring I was feeling overwhelmed. I just wanted to spin but I had a shitload of deadlines. I finally said fuck it, poured myself a glass of wine and started spinning some roving I bought from the Taos Wool Festival.

“Stop The World I Wanna Get Off” was exactly how I was feeling at the time. At first I was trying to spin thin but the wine and my fuck it mood took the wool in another direction. I just had fun with the yarn and it got funky.

Prana was napping nearby:

There’s only 52 yards of this yarn. I’m not sure what I’m going to do with it. Maybe save it for an art project?

Here’s a pic of the roving.

It’s West by Southwest handpainted wool roving and I bought it at the Taos Wool Festival in 2009. It was 4 oz. I plied it with some purple yarn in my stash.

I finished up spinning my periwinkle roving from Lonesome Stone.

A pound of fiber turned into 420 yards of 2 ply.

I’m pretty happy with it. I’m going to spin up my other Lonesome Stone roving and hope to have enough of both for a sweater.

Prana’s happy we’re back.
