supercoils





I'm totally obsessed with supercoils! I've been spinning this pool and chocolate merino into one super long super coil....9 ounces of fiber turned into a mere 31 yards of supercoils!!!

Bamboo Finale!




FINALLY - the dye is completely washed out of this bamboo. Abby from Folktale recommended using some Synthrapol and that really helped speed up the rinsing process. Although I have to say I think I'm going to buy plant fibers dyed by others rather than dyeing them myself! Definitely more time consuming than my kettle dyed merino.


Here's how the bamboo turned out all spun up - the firey orange one is so bright it was hard to capture on my camera!
