I gave myself a little one day challenge and spun up some gorgeous rolags! I just did a 3 ply of two rolags each for a cute little woolen mini! I have a little less than 100 yards of sport weight 💙 A really fun instant gratification project! #spinningyarn #handspunyarn #yarn #handmade #knitting

For anyone interested, here is a swatch I knit up of my 3-ply combo drafted spin I shared earlier, and I think I might love it?? so heathery! Now to decide if I keep it or scrap it for a traditional 2ply?? 🤔 #spinningyarn #handspunyarn #handspinning #yarn #handmade #handspun

So I’m doing a combo drafting experiment and I’m trying to decide if the colors are getting too swampy? I LOVE these two braids, but am wondering if they would be better served as a traditional 2ply? What are your thoughts? #handspun #yarn #spinningyarn #handspunyarn #spinningyarn

Lets do it! A Knitalong to get the community going here on @bsky.app! Start something new (or pick up an old project) using blue yarn, any shade and use the #SkyKAL hashtag to post progress or finished projects. We will let it roll until the end of February. To keep things simple. See comments…
