Three Girly Friends!
This might be the most girly yarn I have ever spun! It is a mix of three (!) sweaters. A mohair sweater with sprinkles and buttons (all in the yarn), a cashmere sweater- which I had to admit- I didn’t want to rip out and this really lovely wrap. I cut them all up and spun them with a bit of CJ Kopec’s roving, some superwash marino, fake fur (subtle but in there), and a good bit of soy silk. Oh yeah, and some sparkles. I do love me some sparkly stuff- I can’t help it. I am my mother’s daughter. This is some really beautiful and girly yarn!
Here are a few photos, plus some of the sweaters that I chopped up!
Little Blue Box
This little ditty was spun using some Cashmere I bought fairly early on in this process. I don’t have a photo of the sweater (sadly). It is a 100% baby blue cashmere sweater. I mixed it with some superwash marino and some roving I have from CJ Kopec (thats the pink stuff). I also added a little flax and some chopped up curtain remnants (I really love those). I am happy with the way it came out. I really love the blue/pink/brown combo. I spun this slightly differently than the others. I pulled the roving all the way through the sweater bits to give it a little more uniformity. 
Blueberry Bunny
This is the latest stuff I spun yesterday! I found this pretty ugly sweater at a thrift store. It is Angora and very bright blue. I chopped it up into one pretty long strip, and then plied it with some moreno/corriedale mix. I also spun a bright green thread around the whole thing for added texture. Its crazy heavy yarn and super angory-ish. I think the colors go well together! It is kinda crazy though! I have MUCH more of this stuff so I am going to do other things with it to tone it down a bit.
