I have one finished project which I showed in yesterday's yarn along and a bunch of in progress things going.
A Toothbrush style rag rug made from stripes of old kid clothes! |
Braided length of rags zigzag stitched to a piece of old receiving blanket. |
I got more spindle spinning done, I ply-ed about 13 yards yesterday and spun a single (I'll will likely ply it) that is about 22 yards. This evening in between reading textbooks (I needed a break and did not need more ice cream which is what I wanted) I did another full spindle. I am really enjoying the spindle, but my right arm (really just one muscle) is really angry with me tonight. I expect this will get less painful rather quickly at this rate!
This is just so cool!!! I love the idea so much...great job stash bashing too it looks like you got rid of a lot of old clothes!!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Oh how I would love to spin wool...one day:)
Have a great weekend!!
Thanks! But don't wait for one day. Get a spindle, they are cheap and small, and a bit of carded wool and start playing. Soon you'll be making you own yarn. It really is calming and amazing and a few minutes of time produces great results.
