Next, we cover a brief Spinning Growth chat and then, I chat about my Llama &amp; Silk blend that I’d plied last time but hadn’t washed, finished and re-skeined yet. Lastly, we spend quite a bit of time talking about sock yarn, my current sock project and a new sock spin on the wheel with opposing plies, the theoretical advantages and thoughts for more sock yarn experiments. Enjoy the show!

Do you have any plans or goals for the new year? Anything you’d like to accomplish? I know there are a few in the community who are hoping to make this the year of their handspun sweaters – very exciting! In the show this week, I chat about our Breed and Colour Study of Masham and the colourway, ‘Starry Night’ that Katrina developed for us. I share a couple of finished objects, including a wrap in some handspun singles and my Radiate sweater by Joji Locatelli. It’s amazing what we can do when we have some quiet time!

Lava Love

Thank you for joining us this episode. Welcome to new and returning viewers. Thank you to our Patreon support community – I hope you are enjoying our next 51 SAL challenge, which are ‘semi’ yarns. In this week’s show, we chat about a couple of community questions, including a follow up from a previous Spinning Growth submission. She’s started knitting her socks and they look great – it’s amazing how far we can push our yarns, even when we think they are ‘less than’. We answer a question about thwacking: When, why, do I have to? A great discussion to say the least. Thank you to Chat for your enthusiasm and conversations – you make the show so much richer for your contributions. Enjoy the show!

Wool n' Spinning Episode 119: Charollais singles, Lava Love on Panda and more on socks

Thank you for joining me this week. This month, there will be 3 shows due to our missed show in March. I’m not sure what has been going on over here the past couple of weeks but I have a ton of finished items to share with you. While I haven’t had much in terms of knitting mojo (although I have finished my #grotine shawl), I’ve been spinning a ton! I have multiple finished yarns to share with you – but I’m going to hold back a few of them to share with you in later in the month or we’d be here all day! I share some new projects with you, as well as, a spin that took 2 years on my spindles. In particular, I’m really excited to share with you my Eden stole that I wove off the loom last week. Enjoy the show!
