The Fiberary

A personal blog about clothes, fiber arts, librarianship, books, and occasional bad poetry.

I finished spinning the Southdown!

Finally! It only took since April! And now I’ve started plying. One skein so far, and you can barely tell I made a dent in the singles bobbins.

I am about to have So Much Sock Yarn.

The plan once I’m done plying is to set the twist, mordant, and then dye the skeins with marigolds. Than I’mma knit socks (and hopefully be done in time for fall/winter!)

231 yards so far of sheepy goodness.

I tried to over ply a bit so there will be extra strength in the yarn when I wear the finished product. Here’s hoping that works!

About Me

I am an avid learner of things, maker of clothes (mostly), herder of cats, and hugger of sheep. I’m just trying to eke out a humble little existence in this delightfully weird wide world. Feel free to come along for the ride.
