Blue/Grey





This is wool I'm spinning for a sock commission. I dyed fleece blue and grey. Spun one thread blue, one thread grey. I could've smoothed the colours out on carders, but I rather like the uneven look. Then I plyed the two threads together. Wound the yarn into skeins on a niddy noddy. I have five skeins ready for washing.

    Lovely colour combination. Do you always use a 'niddy noddy'?

      Yes. I wind 50 times round the niddy noddy, which helps me see if I have the right amount of yarn for a project.
