Before I went to spinning guild today, I decided to do something I haven't done in a long time. I played with fiber on my drum carder. By the time I remembered the gathering and got the bunnies fed and awwwwwed over, I only had time to produce two batts. But, oooh, I like. One is a pink and white blend of cormo, angora, tussah silk and glitz. I started with dyed cormo (pink and white) and silk, a 90/10 blend, added in half ounce of white angora and drizzled magenta glitz that has blue overtones to it. I ended up with 2 oz of this.
The other one is also 2 oz, but with sw merino, angora and glitz. Again, I started with dyed wool roving, shades of bright blue with areas of natural white, and blended in about half ounze of natural blue angora, then drizzled in purple glitz.
These two are for sale and I have enough of the fibers in the same dye lots to make up another 2 ounces of each for sale. Each 2 oz batt is $18 plus shipping. Email me if you are interested. I'll be making up a couple of these batts for me, too, cause I do love luxury fibers flowing through my fingers.
Ohhhh, shiny! Very nice and I know they will spin beautifully!
