Spun and knitted

I bought some dyed fleece from Wirrabarra last Sunday.

I spun it up Tuesday night and knitted it up last night.

I spun the fleece into a thick single, which I felted slightly to strengthen.

I purposely spun it uneven to add more texture.

It's nice that I'm now at a stage with my spinning I can do something deliberately and not by mistake!

The hat was knitted on 5.5mm circular needles.

I am going to spend some time this winter perfecting my spinning and knitting up my handspun yarns.

I may even try to sell a few of my handspun wool hats.

I knitted up the merino I finished spinning last week.

I made it into a simple triangle scarf and crocheted a ring to fasten with.

I love how the wool striped up.

The scarf was knitted on 4.5mm needles.

I used this pattern Simple But Effective Shawl 

I knitted until I was almost out of wool. 

Then crocheted around the 3 sides and crocheted a ring for the tie.

I think it came up very pretty.

Rose is modeling. She wants to keep it.
