The fibre is Blue Faced Leicester and Silk, and was a joy to spin. Shame it doesn't look more attractive plied, but maybe when it knits up the knotty look will be hidden?

Adventures in Navajo Plying!
I've been wanting to Navajo Ply for some time now. I like the idea of keeping the colours of your spun yarn together, but it's a scary looking prospect (if you spin, you know what I mean). So, I bit the bullet on a 100gm braid of fibre from Ixchel Bunny (my Fave!). With the help of You Tube videos, I took the plunge and this is what I created. Looks a bit like one of my dodgy early spins, but I guess, like anything, it takes a bit of practice!

Ohh it's not that bad ?! :)
ReplyDelete...at least it was a lush spin in a pretty colourway. I still think knitted up it will be fine :)
Eerr, I think you are being over generous, but yes, it is a pretty colour! ;-)
