Mish Mosh

I recieved a box of goodies in the mail. Bags and bags of little bits of yarn! Bags and bags of the stuff. I am working on a way to incorporate the bits into yarn. First i tried grinding it up into really really tiny pieces.

I then carded it (very loosely) and sandwiched the bits in-between the roving. I like the general effect. I mostly used mills end fiber. Which needs a bit more carding than regular roving. Because I really only wanted to pass the fiber through the carder once- the yarn was crazy lumpy. I love the texture, but need to keep working on it. I think I am going to do a good carding of the fiber before I put the yarn bits into it so I can spin the yarn a little thinner. We shall see!
