“To create is to live.” -Me

Last week, I suddenly had the irrepressible urge to spin something! I decided to do this cool 3-ply spinning technique and couldn’t wait to see if the colors matched up once plied!

So I dug this gorgeous wool/silk blend roving out from the bottom of my roving stash (one of many such stashes!):

I then divided it into 3 “equal” parts, lengthwise:

I spun each one onto its own separate bobbin:

I ended up with 3 bobbins:

And plied them all together:

To make this 3-ply, worsted-weight yarn, that I adore:

And I’m currently crocheting it into a super cool hand-spun scarf!! I’ll be posting the pattern once it’s done, along with lots of finished pictures!

I also spun up some more wool, some DOG FUR!, and some MILK FIBER! Yes, I’m practically yelling those words out because I’m so excited! More details to come!

Have a blessed day and spin away!

P.S. If you’ve never tried spinning, I highly recommend it. Check out my post on Zen Spinning to see why I love it so much. 🙂

P.S.S. In case you’re wondering, the colors do NOT match up perfectly, but blend and flow in and out and I LOVE IT! XOXOXO
