  • Spun: A Heap of Merino

    I finally, finally finished spinning and plying ALL of this red merino that I’ve had for years. I definitely bought it at Rhinebeck, but I couldn’t say what year – maybe 2007 or 2008?

    Before washing:

    so much red handspun!

    Drying:

    so much red handspun!

    Man that’s a lot of one yarn.

    so much red handspun!

    Finished.

    so much red handspun!

    Closeup. Sorry for the weird lighting in some of these – this one is the closest to true:

    so much red handspun!

    The stats:
    100% merino, bought at Rhinebeck (pretty sure it’s Ashland Bay)
    3 ply, DKish weight
    750g / 26.5 oz
    1885 yards.

    1885 yards!

    Now I just need to plan the perfect sweater for it. Or maybe a blanket?
