Washed, dyed, carded and Spun...

 I do love my fluff.
This is English Leicester X Merino fleece.
I bought from Jane at Moseley Park
I washed it and dyed it with Earth Pallet Dyes

 Then I carded it all into batts on my Ashford Wild carder.

 Then I spun some of it into this very squishy bulky weight yarn.
Lots of bounce in this!

 I may have been quiet on the blog but I've still been crafting along.
This is alpaca yarn, I spun
The beige is a 3 ply and the brown 2 ply.
I bought the alpaca tops from the Laura Folk Festival.


These two skeins both have mohair in them.
One is plyed with silk and the other with 
Romney Ball from Kathy's Fibres.

Project Big is almost completed!
I'm rather excited about it.
And can't wait to show you.
