These days I have been mixing fibres on my carder and dyeing the wools to spin. Check out the
skeins I have created lately....

These fingerless gloves were knitted from my handspun yarn which is a mixture of Merino, Alpaca & Silk. It is a lovely soft feeling yarn. I also knitted a lovely shawl in this colourway. |

This is carded wool which was dyed then spun. People love the bright colours. It weighs 87 gms. |

This yarn is a mixture of dyed Bamboo Fibre, Alpaca & Merino. I am tempted to knit it just too see how the colours work out. The dyed Bamboo makes it a lovely muted colour scheme.
It weighs 110 gm. |

These fingerless gloves are fun to do and only take around 50 gm. This is an example of how my handspun wool knits up. This skein was a mixture of Wool, Silk & Mohair. The gloves are not exactly the same, but have the same colourways, so that makes them interesting. The mohair makes them really cosy |

These ones are knitted from Noro Silk garden Lite. It is more of a challenge to get matching ones as the balls have longer lengths of each colour |

This is the latest yarn I have spun. I have mixed Merino, Alpaca and Dyed Banana Fibre.
This combination gives a lovely feel. As you work with the Banana Fibre it becomes really soft and cuddly. It weighs 116 gm. |

A few colours of Tussah Silk I have been dyeing. I love working with colour and experimenting with colour mixing. These ones are more muted, earthy tones, but I am working on lovely pinks, purples, apricots, golds etc for another posting. |

This is a small amount from a bag of Perendale Sliver I have dyed. I can just imagine what it would look like when spun.... I want to try them all...! |
