Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Spinning Dyed Fibers »

Instructions

I learned how to keep the colours separate in this class. I've been spinning for many, many years and have just learned to Navajo ply and I LOVE IT!
I used the Cruiser pattern for the mittens and then just made up the headband (didn't have enough for a whole hat out of my 100 grams) to match.
