Day 2 'Tour De Fleece' 2011


Today I completed the plying of the Ula Batts and Tussah silk, from Yummy Yarns UK.  It is very soft yarn with a touch of luxury.  I need to skein it but for now my Niddy Noddy has gone on walkabouts.  It will turn up.  I plan on spinning some more Grey tomorrow after work when the little one is in bed and then I am trying to formulate a plan for these:
These are fibres I received in a Scrap Swap Parcel.  They are a complete explosion of colours.  They have actually been very useful for colour theory workshops.  I may just go for the random spin and ply as my confidence to devise a colour palette is not up to what it should be.  I also intend to teach myself how to Navajo ply at some point in the 'Tour De Fleece'.  (That is a method of plying singles as opposed to two yarns plied together.)  For now just any spinning over the next three work days will be an achievement.  I save the adventurous stuff for my days off!
