Summer Fun Flamingo Combo Spin

Summer Fun Flamingo Combo Spin

Posted by Marina ~ Pineapple Yarn on

I loved my sweater spin so much, that I decided to do another combo ply project! These are two fibers from my stash that are SO beautiful, it was hard to let them go :) I enjoyed each of these types of wool so much, that I hope to spin with them again in the future. 

Spin details:

7.8 oz, 200g, ~519 yards

Dandelions and Daisies Fiber Arts, BFL combed top, "Summer Fun"

Created by Elsie B, Falkland combed top, "Flamingo"

Split each fiber into four lengthwise

12:1 continuous back draft with smoothing, one full treadle per draft, four drafts, one take up

16:1 ply, six treadles, one take up
