That is so cool to see spindle-spun yarn knitted up and plied like that. I agree that the seed stitch makes it look quite nice. I'm gettin' psyched for my lesson! :-) Subscribe to Post Comments [Atom] Tuesday, March 14, 2006 There won't be time tomorrow to post anything. I have to be on the road by 7. So here are a few shots of some of the spindle spun yarn I took to the class last Saturday. Here is blue merino 2ply. The yarn ended up pretty bumpy and uneven - top is tricky for me using a drop spindle. Heck. It's tricky for me all the time. But in a bumpy stitch like seed stitch - it is very pretty.  Here you see the same yarn, spindle spun thick and thin, then plied with a commercial effect yarn - a thin multi-colored rayon cord. I only made a tiny bit of this but I think it's very pretty.  This is a green mohair lock, spun as roughly as I could on the drop spindle, then lightly plied with that same rayon cord. Similar, but different look.
