Skeined & Ready

One theory on decay


It's a funny thing about crafting.  Often the raw fleece is absolutely beautiful.  After it's washed and dyed and rinsed again it loses some of the sheen or the suppleness it had.  Then, no matter how carefully I card and spin it, more of the beauty is somehow lost.  The color changes I thought would be fabulous have turned tedious.

But sometimes it takes a turn during the plying stage, like this Purple Haze color way did.

Tomorrow I squoosh some water laced with eucalan wool wash through the yarn and hang it to dry to fluff it up and set the twist.


For now, I start carding the "Girl Power" colorway.
