Pandemic


My Pandemic fiber is off the wheel. 



This is the fiber I dyed the weekend of the cancelled MDSW.




That was a pretty fast turn around for me. Fiber usually lives on my wheel forever. 




It's more balanced than the last chain plied fiber that came off the wheel. Thank goodness. 




It's already the start of another Pimpeliesse. I'm really hoping I don't end up with clown barf as it knits up. If it does it'll suffer the same fate as a Happ for Harriet I once tried to dye for. It went into a pot of black. Jet black.

  1. It is too pretty and light to be clown barf. I'm guessing it will make a lovely shawl.

  2. No, no, no. If you don't like it, I'll buy it from you. Don't dye it, it's gorgeous!!!!!!
    You are amazingly talented my dear friend.

  6. I think it's going to be fine. If you don't like it when it's done though - try over-dying it in strong purple or burgundy.... we used them A LOT of cover barfy skeins. Much more fun than black. Trust me.

  9. I think the skein is gorgeous. It looks somewhat different in the last two shots. I prefer the first one you've shown in a skien. Lovely lovely colors. If it acts like a clown, maybe use it WITH a black as a fair isle construction. That always seems to help clown yarn behave and look brilliant1

  10. I'm still catching up on old post reading and I think I've already seen lots of progress on this and know it doesn't look like clown barf. But if I haven't, I don't think it will. The muted colors are beautiful!
