I completed my first pair of socks using after thought heels! I call these my 80s socks and the pattern is #trustytoeupsocks. Still getting the hang of knitting but it’s growing on me :)

Again no name so this one is dubbed Pretty in Pink. Base is nsw Norwegian wool- definitely have never spun this before. It’s a bit coarse but I think it would be great for spindle spinning so I think I’ll save it for either my Turkish or one of my support spindles :)

Makes me kind of sad that none of these came with names on the package but I’m going to dub this one Venus Flytrap. The base is nsw Cormo, I can’t remember if I’ve spun this or not but I’m always down to try something new!

A bit later than Xmas but I still love this one! This is Merino Bamboo (70/30) which I’m excited to try because I have never spun merino or bamboo. I heard both can be a bit slippery for newbies and I guess I still understand my spinning skills which is why it’s taken so long.

Is this the most perfect fall color or what? The base is nsw Rambouillet- which is one of my favorite fiber types! I was so worried to spin my first braid of it because it was “the good stuff” but now when I go to buy fiber it’s a fiber I reach for often.

Here we have another Shaniko Tweed 89/6/5 (Shaniko/ acrylic/ nylon). I am always so impressed by Cash+coco and her color ways, last year I bought a kilo of hand dyed yarn from her and that was amazing too! Plus I love that she’s from Minnesota too!

This one is very similar to the other one color wise- it’s more muted but the purples and greys are so good! This base is Shaniko Tweed and it is 89 Shaniko/ 6 acrylic/ 5 nylon. Buttery soft and I bet the slubs will look amazing in the finished yarn 🤩

This one is on the base Shaniko Silk (80 Shaniko/ 20 mulberry silk). I think this color is gorgeous too! Reminds me of a London fog latte. This will be my first time spinning Shaniko and mulberry!

I got 2 pounds of mystery dyed fiber from Cashmere and Coconuts and this has to be my favorite braid 😍 We are living for the bisexual color representation! I got 7 other braids and they’re all equally stunning, I’ll post the rest of them below! This one is non superwash (nsw) Polworth
