This week’s "Fiber Fascination"
For Mother’s Day, Andrea gave me some fantastic wool fiber from Aisha Celia Designs . It's quite an interesting mix: just a little gold metallic thread mixed in with the a wide range of reds, rose-pinks, browns to tans.
I spun up a little of it.
And surprise, surprise! When plyed, it’s a great match to my favorite sneakers ...
... and that newly repaired beaded bag.
Just looking at the fiber, I actually expected a result that was more toward pink than rose-red. But that’s one of the really fun and interesting things about spinning: you just don’t know for certain how it will look until it’s spun and plyed.
Anyway, I just love the way it's turning out.
Thank you, Andrea.
