This is the view as I drive up the hill and out of my driveway. It's enough to make you want to stay at home! I walked around when I got home from school today and took a bunch of pictures. You won't see those until I have a suitable "after" picture to show with it. Let's just say the score is Char: 1 Weeds: 1066
For those of you who haven't seen the results of overblending - here's your chance! (sorry about the shadows) The skein in front is from the blended batts and the skein in front is from the second batch of roaster roving.The well-blended yarn isn't really as ugly as it looks on screen, but it's a very muted variegation. Maybe I'll use a strand of each for another fulled bag. My daughters seem to think they grow on trees.
Do fiber people really need an excuse to stay home?
ReplyDeleteI don't think the muted skein is ugly. Just think "subtle"!
Those hanks are *elegant,* not ugly! Most spinners *strive* to achieve such a balance!
ReplyDeletePurty roses! I'd stay home....
ReplyDeleteI like both the skeins, and I think it's really interesting to see the different results you get through different prep and spinning.
Waitaminnit! Are those roses, or peonies, or something else? This is why I don't garden...
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are lovely -- I know nothing about gardening. Also, you could put those skeins in a mixed warp with some bright jewel colored yarn alongside and it would be wonderful.
