My first project off the Golding Spindle (which still doesn't have an appropriate name yet, any suggestions?)
Fiber Credit: Fleece Artist Merino/Silk Sliver
There are some thick and thin, and perhaps a little slubby spots here and there, but overall I think I have achieved a mostly uniform light lace weight single. And what the yarn lacks in consistancy... boy does that colour make up for it! Strands vary from almost white to dark navy, and every shade of turquoise and green in between. The silk gives lots of strength and shine, and the merino lends softness and bounce.
Trying to capture all of the shine and colour subtleties was really difficult... I hope that whatever Finished Object it ends up becoming will be easier to photograph. I ended up with about 330 yards of singles... so enough for a small shawl or a scarf for sure. I have some pattern ideas, and once I get past the test phase I will show you what I'm up to :)
And of course, one more picture... just because I can!
