Well hello all and welcome back!
Well here it is it's Friday! It's the last day of the summer holidays for my oldest two children and we are housebound as little J is poorly sick and despite the sun shining and it being blissfully warm out we are having a peaceful gentle day at home with some colouring for the other three children and maybe some baking later.
So I have a kind of finished object to share... which is the N-plied Northern Lights Fibre from My Heart Exposed, it is a beautiful shropshire fleece which spun up like a dream and I enjoyed it immensely. Now obviously I am going to have to knit or crochet it into something for it to be totally finished but I think from fibre to yarn is quite a transformation to share ;)
It almost looks like sherbet pips spum into yarn, it's hard to believe that it is dyed using all natural dyes, the colours in the fibre are incredible! My camera and the light really does not do it justice.
It's about DK weight N-Plyed and 150m.... so now what to make this into, tempted by a cowl but it doesn't feel wintry enough with the colours in it hmmmmmm your ideas are more than welcome!
Don't forget to go and check out the other FO over on Tamis blog and have a fantastic weekend!
Beautiful colours, sherbet pips is exactly the right description :) I know what you mean about the colours not really saying cowl, but maybe a long, narrow version that you could wear as a looped scarf?
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful and so lovely and even
ReplyDeleteI agree with pinkundine, a narrow scarf would look lovely.
ReplyDeleteThat's really pretty. I love the way natural dyes work out.
ReplyDeleteLovely colours :) Hope little one is feeling better soon
ReplyDeleteGorgeous yarn! It would be great as fingerless mitts, too. Bright and cheery. Hope your little one recovers quickly, and the rest of your household escapes the bug!
ReplyDeletewow it's beautiful, good job! I think it would still look good as a cowl - you know, especially if (like me) you've got a dark winter coat, it would make your outfit much more colorful!
ReplyDeletesuch a soft pretty yarn Toni, maybe some beautiful fingerless mitts for autumn would be just the thing for this yarn, I can see those being very pretty and uplifting to look at whilst being worn, I am sure you will enjoy them :)
ReplyDeletegorgeous colours!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful yarn! So sorry to hear you're stuck at the house and have a sick little one. :(
ReplyDeleteIt looks perfect - nice job!
