There is something very special about handspun yarn. I can't do it nicely myself, but I love how it looks. So you can imagine how happy I was when I sent some roving off and got this incredibly beautiful yarn back.
It's hard to believe that this beautiful yarn started life as roving that I was worried about. I thought it looked better in my head than on the actual roving after dyeing. But spinning is one of those amazing processes that turns something a bit awkward and uneven into something extraordinary. It's that whole spinning wheat into gold thing.
I'm searching for just the right project — not at all sure of what this yarn wants to become. Any suggestions?
Not sure how much yarn there is but I think there is something special about a Far Away So Close shawl when knitted up in handspun….
That is such a good idea. I knit Faraway so close a long time ago in one of my favorite Mosaic Moon colorways, Selah. I don’t think I have enough for it here, but perhaps I’ll dye a solid or two that works with it and use them together. It’s such a great pattern!
