Latest Spinning

Regular readers might remember this travesty that I posted about a while ago.

Well, not only did I find a loving home for those mega bright skeins (in exchange for some lovely sedate sage green wool), but I also finished spinning the rest of it the way I should have spun it in the first place.

11 skeins of 90% mohair/10% trilobal nylon, 2 ply, fingering weight, waiting to be knit on teeny tiny needles.

I had 3 skeins each of the light and bright blue so I overdyed one of each with yellow to make the green skeins, since I had wasted all my green on the travesty, and I overdyed one of each with a mix of Ashford scarlet/purple and hot pink to make a dark bluish purple skein and a dark reddish purple skein.

Each skein is about 28gms (an ounce) to 40gms (about an ounce and a half) so there should be plenty to make a really big entrelac scarf on 2.5 - 3mm needles. Or something.

:-)
