This is so soft to spin, the silk is a long staple but the camel is very short so I imagine the camel might make a slight halo on the finished yarn. Finished the 1st bobbin and started the 2nd bobbin, but haven’t been able to spin on it very much, will spin on it tomorrow, I’m excited to see how it looks when it’s finished and I’m hoping it will be a sport weight. The colors are never correct on my picture on the reds, this is actually looks like a very light orange on my screen, but it’s a bit brighter than shows on my screen. Not sure if it’s my camera or my computer screen.
Opps I might have bought another fiber to spin, it’s called Smooth Bark (the color looks true) from Camaj Fiber Arts, but to be honest I bought it last month and just didn’t get to put it in on my blog. I’m trying to stick with no more new fiber going forward until I’ve spun down some of my deep stash fiber, :D, but we can see how that is going. This is very soft also, but it should be since it’s 40% superfine merino, 20% alpaca, 20% camel and 20% mulberry silk. This shop frequently has very good sales on their fiber. I was thinking it would be the next spin, but I promised myself that if I spin a new fiber, I would also spin a deep stash fiber. So when I am finished with the camel/red Eri silk, I will go diving in my deep stash because I must love them, I bought them :P. Maybe I can find something sparkly or put sparkles on it with my drum carder :).
Hope you all are well, and surviving the hot summer we are all having, just think, Fall will be here in a month or so :).
