Friday Fluff

 

The Maine Lobster corriedale is finished. Since I'm terrible at splitting fiber evenly I had to make a plying ball to use up every last bit of singles. 




We were dodging rain and thunderstorms all day so I didn't get to give it a soak and a good thwacking yet. It would have never dried. When I do get to finish the processing I hope that it will become a more cohesive skein. It looks a little under plied to me right now. 



I did work on the pile of handspun granny squares but had an issue with the other ball of BFL yarn that I wanted to use to make up for running out of the Barbie's Dream House colorway. It seems it's thicker and makes a bigger square as you can see. This could have been a catastrophe but....




Look what I found. A box full of Barbie's leftovers. Now that the Ladybug is without a project I'll get to working on this and see how far it gets me.

    Your spinning is going to be quite festive. Lobster turned out very pretty.

    Hooray for finding Barbie's leftovers! That will make cheery spinning on these gray and rainy days.

    The Maine Lobster sure is a pretty color and aptly named!

    I like the Main Lobster skein and Barbie's fluff is so bright and festive.

    The Corriedale is a gorgeous fiber. Glad you found more of the pastels to spin up!

    The spun Lobster is glorious. What I'd give to be able to make a granny square. . .
