200 grams
I have now spun up all 200g of my “Pandora’s Box” roving from the Odessa Fiber Mill. I had forgotten how lovely it is to spin fiber that is well prepared, and slips lightly through my fingers to make a smooth yarn. It was rather mesmorizing to watch the bobbin fill up so quickly.
From a distance the yarn appears grey, but from up close, the blended nature shows. There are flecks of red, blue, yellow, fuschia, and some sparkly threads that run through it. Although I think it is mostly wool, it is a fine merino, blended with alpaca, and I think there’s some llama there too.
In my mind this is going to turn into mittens and maybe a hat as well, so I chain plied it to make a soft and squishy 3-ply yarn.
