Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Spinning

Type of item: Functional

For: Other

Style: Rock / Punk, Whimsical, Hipster, Geeky


Materials

Merino wool, silk, polyester ribbon

What was your inspiration?

I wanted a thick and thin yarn plied with some sparkly ribbon I've been holding onto for a while. I hand dyed some wonderful soft merino/ silk blend roving in one of my favorite colors. Loved the way it turned out. I'm going to make a smooshy hat with it.

What are you most proud of?

It turned out exactly the way I wanted.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Take your time. If you've never spun before, predrafting your roving is a great way to cut down on your work and it also helps to keep your yarn even.
