Plying Otter Pop Lilly!


Lilly turned out to be 300 yards of lovely yarn, with a bit of a halo. I would guess this is DK or sport weight yarn and I love the colors that my daughter made from otter pop dying.  I am wondering what to knit with Lilly's yarn!  Lilly is a Leicester from Mary Beth's farm in the upper peninsula of Michigan.

Sunday Spinning!


This otter pop dyed Leicester is tough to spin as it is a bit matted from its travels from Michigan plus the excitement of being dyed by otter pops, yet the colors look lovely and the singles seem to have a bit of a halo. Looking forward to seeing what the plyed yarn looks like!

189 yards Meriboo!


Wheeeeeee!  I love this yarn!  The colors are so beautiful and the yarn is squishy and soft.  What can I knit with 189 yards? I love it!

Plying Meriboo!


Certainly more of a worsted weight yarn is coming out of this plying. I do love how the colors are playing together.  Wondering what to knit with this yarn!
