Spinning

We are now in the process of buying a shop in MY TOWN to run. No it won't be a yarn shop - much as that is my dream shop, I need to learn how to run a shop first. This one is an existing business and running at a fairly healthy profit margin.


On the knitting front I am still working on my Wings of the swan stole, but that is on the back burner to a baby cardigan - knitted seamless with a couple of cables. Lizzie's best friend's mother has just had a baby.

I have also been spinning quite a bit recently using some lovely hand dyed tops I bought from ebay. I seem to be able to spin a single ply that is about 1 ply weight - i.e. when I Navaho ply it I get something lighter than UK 4 ply but heavier than 2-ply.

These skeins are Navaho plied to maintain the subtle random hand dying - standard ply-ing hand painted tops always blends everything together which I didn't want.
