All spun up
I’ve just posted my first entry on www.crazycatfibers.com, my “shop blog” for the soon-to-open Etsy store. It’s about the same info as I have below, so no need to rush over. I plan to update it every time I do a shop update, the first of which will hopefully happen later this week if the shipment of roving arrives tomorrow as expected. It’s going to be a busy couple of evenings! Stupid day job.
The Autumn Bliss roving that Jag and I dyed is spun, plied, washed, and whacked, and is nearly dry from hanging out on the porch. 4.8oz/139gm of fiber, 520 yards of sport to light worsted weight 2-ply yarn. I’m looking at shawl and shrug patterns so I can get to knitting with it ASAP.
Jag is moving along with his weaving project. It’s been slow going, and there are mutterings about his never doing tapestry weaving again, but he’s finding ways to speed things up and has made a good bit of progress. The fabric he’s making is very sturdy and the color transitions are looking pretty much perfect now.
