Silk Road, Friday
~160 yards of two-ply 100% silk yarn from 1 ounce of hand dyed tussah silk.
It always hurts a little bit to go from the pretty twisted skein to the center pull ball. But I love to see the color progressions.
23 wraps per inch with the help of the WPI tool my dad created. Certainly in the lace/fingering weight category. And all ready to become a little something special for my summer wardrobe.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to leave a comment on my post yesterday. I appreciate all the compliments on the yarn as well as your help making sure that my comments worked again. It is such a relief to have that part of my blog functioning again. I always love the new features I find in updated blogging software, but I just don't have the common sense sometimes to leave well enough alone now that my blog software maintenance time is more limited.

Theresa,
Thanks for posting all of the progress shots. As a non-spinner (or future spinner :) ) I think it is so fascinating. Gorgeous!
Isn't it great to have an enthusiastic and interesting dad? My father is like that also.
It is such a pretty little silk wreath among the clover in the first picture.
Can't wait to see what you might do with it!
