Spinning The 8-Ball


Day 97: I've been behind the 8-Ball for the last couple of weeks, which is to say that I've been working diligently to spin up eight balls of carded wool in a rainbow range of colours. I bought the package on a whim when Paradise Fibers had their fire sale, although I don't usually like to spin in the woollen style. The first skein I made up (the yellow/gold) is a bit heavier than the others at 37 yards per ounce, but since I intended to make a hat, I will use it as the first colour on a rolled-back edge. The others all come in at roughly 42-45 yards per ounce, each skein weighing approximately 25 grams. The blends are delightful, with (you could probably guess) the green being my favourite.
