More spinning
knitting_keeps_me_sane, 10:48h
This blog gives me so much because it is perfectly in harmony with my love for little things, for details, for the pretty things in life.
I learn how to use a camera, and suddenly I see so many beautifull things through my cameras eye. I wont even bother uploading most here on my blog because I cannot show them to you in their full glory, but safe to say that even our garden is beautifull in the morning sunlight, when you focus on detail.
I spun a skein more yesterday, with the white and the other colours, but this time I added a way smaller tuft to the wool - still quite large, but if you want to reploduce a commercial tweed yarn you will either need to cut a yarn into pieces and blend it in with the handcards or commercially buy little tufts (I have seen cotton tufts for sale) and add them in while spinning.

Curiously enough, this yarn ended up at the same yardage and weight as the brown one!
I almost used up the pink, so if I am going to make more - as I probably should because I despise having yarn I cannot use for anything - I must find a replacement colour.
Have a nice day
