With the help of my daugher (she sleeps in her Baby Bjorn when I spin) I have gotten the second bobbin of my Bonkers Limeola superwash merino spun. The roving that I had shifted from the very limey green seen in the first bobbin to the pale aqua of the second bobbin, so I spun the fiber for the second bobbin so that I could demonstrate the extremes. I think the colors go well together, when next to each other, but I am curious as to what the resulting yarn will look like when plying occurs.
Plying, unfortunately, may take me a little while to get to. Not only is it hard to come by the two straight hours or so I will need to ply and deal with the final yarn, but I only have 6 bobbins for my WooLee Winder and now all 6 of them are in use... so I may have to work on some other things to free a few of them up before I can ply (yes, I do have the plying head, but for sock yarn like this, I like the results I get from my WW bobbins a bit better).
Which means I have to get back to working on that big bale o' moorit CVM....
What a lovely image, a Mother spinning while her baby sleeps. :)
I used to love spinning with E on my lap. The yarn is beautiful so far!
Pretty, pretty, pretty colours!
I hope you have gotten pictures of you and Z while you are spinning. what a precious, precious portrait you two would make.
Please free a bobbin up soon. I can't wait to see those two beauties plied together. Lovely.
Lovely, lovely.
I want to see it plied! Sometimes the ply is my favorite part, watching how the two meld.
Such beautiful spinning.
Gorgeous! I think it'll look nice plied. I'm knitting some socks in Nature's Palette and the (somewhat solid) shade is very like a combination of those two colors, and it's lovely.
Can't wait until you get back to the CVM! I just finished mine, FINALLY, and now I just have sleeves and collar to go on Cromarty. Whew! It's such a great fiber, isn't it?
