It Came!!!!!

My silk hankies came and I am soooo excited!!!!! I quickly decided to change my plans about the boucle style. I am going to go with a two-ply yarn whose weight is yet to be known. I was putting away some socks today when I saw this combination of colors. I fell in love with them!! I decided to dye the silk these colors using Wilton Icing Dyes(Buttercup, Orange, and Leaf Green). I starting spinning the silk and I love the way it's so soft!!

Still Waiting...

My First Yarn

This was the first yarn I ever spun. The fiber was from Etsy. I used Kool-Aid to die it and I used a simple, handmade spindle. It was a bulky thick and thin yarn with 5-6 WPI.

Waiting...

I cannot wait for my new silk hankies to come in the mail!!! I just bought them on Etsy. I am thinking about making a boucle style yarn with a peach color. It's summer and I can't wait to make all of the yarns that I have been thinking about. I guess I will have to wait to make them though, because if I bought all of the fiber I wanted, I would be broke!! I have never spun with silk before so it should be interesting. I am planning on using Wilton Icing Dye, which I have never done, and I have never done any sort of boucle yarn... so this will be one big experiment!! Wish me luck!! Can't you get here faster silk?????
