Black Friday Sale!
Well it took longer than I expected (so what else is new?) but I actually got everything done and posted to my Etsy Shop 2 hours ahead of the sale start time! Whew!
This 2-ply tweed is a chunky weight. I ended up with 3 skeins; 295 yds, 216 yds and 130 yds. The brown is Corriedale and the purple is Romney so it isn't the softest wool but it's not horrid either. I'm thinking it would make a good vest or mitts or something.
This 2-ply turquoise tweed turned out even nicer than I expected! It's also Corriedale and Romney but this batch of Romney is much softer and it changed the whole feel of the yarn! The brown also really makes the turquoise pop! Only 2 skeins; 200 yds and 195 yds but still lots there to make something really toasty!
The Alpaca and fine white South African batts turned out great! I ended up with 4 packages of 4 batts and each bag weighed over 5 ounces so the batts are each bigger than 1 ounce! What's more there's about 5 or 6 ounces of the Alpaca left for me to spin up... whenever... This turned into such a marvelous blend! I hope I actually sell some of it. My prices are comparable to other fiber I've seen - and a lot less than some I could mention. I guess I'll find out soon enough! Now I'm tired and I think I'll sit and do some nice quiet (very fine) spinning! Cheers all!
