…Christmas is coming.
Remember this?
Well, now it looks like this:
Fiber: 4oz of Merino/Silk found at Rhinebeck 2007
Navajo plied to 274 yards of DK-ish weight (RR has decided this is the heaviest yarn I’ve ever spun)
As soon as it’s dry, it will magically and instantaneously assume the form of an Xmess gift. ;o)
The timing of this project was perfect since last week Cynthia and I decided to get together for some Holiday spinning at a Starbucks in Avon, CT (about halfway between us). We freaked out the muggles for a few hours and she learned to Navajo ply. It was a great day – and she was doing a great job with the plying, too, considering we were sitting in what was possibly the busiest Starbucks on the East Coast.
I’ll leave it up to her to post pictures of her yarn (especially since I didn’t take any photos of it). ;o)
That looks like fun. Hmmm. What’s half way between US?
It turned out just as gorgeous off the bobbin as it did on. Lovely.
Thanks again for giving me a few hours of precious Christmas time, I seriously appreciate it. I’m hoping to sit down tonight and ply that stuff I’ve had on the bobbins forever. You’ve created a monster!
What a great way to spend an afternoon. Starbucks and Spinning. Two things I can get behind.
Your spinning has really progressed. Excellent work my dear!

I’m so impressed with the plying! And Tom and I got a big kick out of the Starbucks photo.
Gorgeous colours!
Fantastic. Lovely. I want it to come home with me. lol
Sounds like a great time! Your handspun is beautiful!
Pretty! I am still working on spinning thicker yarn for the most part too. Easier said than done.
Lovely yarn! I’m still working on that whole Navaho plying technique. Did the muggles simply gape and stare or where any of them brave enough to talk to you?
You are getting so GREAT at that!!! It’s beautiful.
That would be the perfect Christmas card picture!
Spinning at the Starbucks… I’ve never thought to do that! What a great idea.
Oooo, I love the colors of the fiber turned yarn. It’s such a wonderful color for this time of the year.
Ohh, what a great way to spend the day and the yarn is lovely.
wow…i bet you had a lot of “lookie-looos” watching you! cool.
your yarn is beautiful!
I love that you spun in the Starbucks! How awesome is that???
lovely yarn!!! so yummy.
