Things have been shutting down as social distancing has been enforced. Rightly so. We just need to stay away from each other . It means I have had time to get things done. I want to make a shocking pink doll for my granddaughter so I spun the acrylic in blue and pink and Navajo plied it. I then did some core spinning with the addition of white acrylic for the doll’s hair. I already have some Navajo plied white. Acrylic is easy to spin and I’d certainly recommend it for a beginner spinner and it’s easy to use when you are learning to core spin.
The other thing I got done was spin up the cold dyed wool plait I made the other week and I plied that with some merino mixed with tussar silk of similar colour. I now have two cakes of that. I had some of my dyed plait left over so I plied that with a nice naturally fawn Finn fleece. I really like the look of that yarn. Not sure what I shall be doing with that. At the beginning of the year I knew I had to keep spinning because I didn’t have much of a choice in yarns I had spun. The current situation will fix that.
