What I made, by Sharon

I took a long weekend so that I could ply the green singles I've been spinning for the last two months, that I showed you in the previous post. Each single is made of a different fibre: there is 200 grams of Miss Babs merino/ bamboo/silk , which she had accidentally marked at eight dollars, instead of eighteen. There is 200 grams of alpaca, which was gifted to me by Brent, and 200 grams of blue faced Leicester/silk. I dyed the last two myself with acid dyes and set off to spin it. I've come out with a total of 628 meters and 565 grams. I failed to realise that the alpaca is heavier, and will therefore be shorter than the other fibres. On the other hand, I'm very happy with how it looks, feels and smells. I'm still planning on making Vinelle… sort of. I'm going to knit it top down using Barbara Walkers formulas, and it may have short sleeves, depending on how far the yarn stretches. After I finished spinning this I started on some Ixchel Wensle...
