I had to post another quickie today…new yarn that isn’t dry yet, but here’s a photo of “Stormy Night” on my niddy-noddy before I set the twist. It’s blue-black Romney (I think) that I got from Christine at Now and Zen last weekend. It spun up deliciously fast, right off the bump with no splitting or pre-drafting needed. I saved about half as a singles, but the rest, shown here, is plied with a gorgeous thin fuzzy yarn by Rowan called Kidsilk Night (mohair, silk, poly, nylon). I plied it in a loopy, boucle style without adding the 3rd ’stabilizer’ thread usually used in a boucle. So yummy….I’ll probably list it for sale at Handmade, but only because I emailed her to hold the rest of the fiber for me so I can make some for myself later!
