Blueberry Bunny

May 23rd, 2008

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.

The Bunny FuFu1

May 22nd, 2008

This is some stuff I spun up a while ago. Its a bit of a precursor to Re-Yarn. It is made from a recycled white angora sweater. For FuFu1, I chopped up the sweater into tiny tiny bits and then ran it through my drum carder with a bunch of other fiber. I like the way at came out, although its a little sheddy. I plied it with a silver thread. I used a ton of different wool fibers, some Finn, long-haired cotswold and Moreno.

Bunny FuFu2

May 22nd, 2008

This was my second attempt at spinning the white angora sweater. This was my first real success in terms of what I am going for with Re-Yarn. I like the way the angora is there- but it is seamlessly integrated into the yarn. I kept the color scheme the same as FuFu1 and used the same wool for its base.
