Any who, when I purchased the spindle I also purchased some maroon, orange, and yellow fiber. I chose to take chunks of each color and make a striping yarn. I spun thin singles, as normal, and Navajo Plied it and then Navajo Plied it again, so the resulting yarn is a 9ply sport/dk weight.
It's a small skein and I am almost done with a second one. I really love how it turned out! I'll show the second skein when I am done, then who knows what I'll do with the rest of it!
Looks like Virginia Tech colors to me.
ReplyDeleteWonder if I could finally have spindle success with a turkish version?
Love the colors. Can a turkish hold as much yarn as a top whorl of a similar size?
