darchildreBecause it is now Yule, I get to open my Yule present to myself, which is 12 days worth of spinning fiber in surprise colors. I am day two and both of them have been lovely so far.
I bought this fiber with no actual plan for it, but it occurred to me this morning that, with the companion braid, I have 12 oz of fiber that I've started spinning for a two-ply fingering weight, as that's my default weight to spin. That's going to leave me with almost enough yarn for a sweater.
So this morning, I messaged the person who dyes and sells the fiber to ask if she had any more of the companion braids in the color I got. They did, and I have ordered one, and I'm going to spin all this wool and then knit next years' new sweater out of it!
I'm very excited.
