This week I finished spinning another skein of sock yarn (that will be my theme for the year).
The fibre was dyed neon pink and gold
I dyed some more fibre for socks. I was inspired by an article in the Summer 2018 issue of Spin Off magazine - Brewing Up a Batch of Custom Dyed Fiber by Anne Merrow. Basically to have small dots of colour in the white fibre.
For spinning I divided the fibre in to very thin pieces, to have short sections of colour. I am looking forward to seeing how this knits up.
Temperatures all over the place this week.
Photos from Around-
There was a Bald Eagle in the yard this week.
Still frosty temperatures some mornings.
A bit of rain and things are really starting to grow.
Little pine trees everywhere - the previous owners ploughed all around the shelter belt trees (most are now dead), and we have left things to naturalize, so it is nice to see so many trees coming in.
Miss Molly oblivious to the pair of Jack Rabbits on the right.
She was very excited when they took off - she could never get them, they are so fast.
The Jack Rabbits are about half white and half brown now.
Miss Maggie joined us on our walk.
We scared a pair of Mallards (flying over in the photo). We scared a pair of small ducks (we can't tell what type), and a pair of Partridges on the walk too - spring has really come!
All the best!♥︎
