Not my favourite

This is polwarth that I dyed in pinks, purples and browns, but I think that I should have left out the purples. It looks a little too"red hat society" for my taste. The pinks ended up being too saturated and look more red.
I spun a thicker single and navaho plyed it to make a chunkier yarn than I usually get. I'm not that struck on the colours, but I love the feel of the yarn, it is so solid yet soft.
I made a hat out of it, and it actually almost matches a sweater that I'm making Shanny from one of the Lopi books.

More Spinning

This is polwarth that I dyed in pinks and browns. At first I thought that it might be too bright, but I really like it.
I made a pair of mittens out of it and I also spun a slub single and made a hat with it. I gave the hat and a matching scarf to one of Shannon's friends for her birthday.

mittens. This is a closer representation of the colour than the top picture.
This is silk that I spun from silk hankies, I like the way it looks in the skein, but the yarn does not have enough twist, and I did not enjoy working with it.
