Hand Spun Merino Silk Blend

 Another Spinning project Finished.

100grams Merino Silk blend from Ashfords.

The colourway came out quite muted i feel.



I am also spinning one at the moment in Blue Shades.
Don’t know what I will make with them yet. I am sure though it will be a knitted scarf or something.


Spun and Dyed Corriedale

 I have been spinning over Winter 2026. I had a kilo of corriedale roving that i had bought at Ashfords while i was over in New Zealand years ago.

I decided it was time to work on it and spin and then dye it.

These are results of my new to me craft.

I used a crockpot and acid dyes and i am extremely pleased with the colours


I used pink with a very diluted yellow, 3 different shades of turquoise , blue and teal. Then straight turquoise on the last one.

I spun and dyed these to use in a handwoven lap rug that i am planning on starting soon.

Next dyeing project will be dyeing an Alpaca Batt that i have just carded. Never done that before.

Hope you enjoy.
