Popeye Arms Two-Ply Handspun

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

Difficulty:

Category: Knitting

Type of item: Accessory

For: Unisex

Style: Funky


Materials

I used all different types of wool and assorted fibers (sparkle, novelty yarn, fabric bits, etc) to make this yarn. Very thick and bulky, would make one heck of a scarf!

What was your inspiration?

I love making big yarns on my Ashford Country Spinner spinning wheel as it's designed to spin large fluffy yarns that can hold a lot of texture. This yarn was two big/thick singles that I plied to make an even thicker yarn. It works up well on large knitting needles or with a giant crochet hook, the bigger the better as the texture and colors of the yarn really pop out with large stitches.
