What I spun over the holiday

#1

Downloaded pics of the yarn I spun up over the holidays …
This is from Carol Lee’s #1 wool roving. A deeper burgandy than what shows on her page. Paul fell in love with it immediately and asked for a toque. There is 366 yards of double ply, about 16 wpi:

This is 481 yards, about 25 wpi. I carded about 50/50 corriedale with the blue from Carol Lee’s #1 wool roving. The pictures don’t show the true color, which is more a purple than a blue. These will be knitted into socks for me:

A bulkier weight, heavy worsted double ply, about 220 yards. It is Carol Lee’s olive green #1 roving carded with Carol’s black mill ends (that she always throws in for free). The bits of yellow, orange, red are randomly placed soy silk:

Oh Jeremy, say not so! Those are beautiful beyond what I have words for. Making me think more and more that I want to spin sooner rather than later.

Thank you all!
I started the toque for DH, got about 3/4 finished and he found one of his old Voyager toques. I frogged the new hat and follow the pattern of his old one.
