Spinning Around
This week I started to spin the merino for my scarf pal. I started with 4 ounces and got 212 yards of a heavy DK/light worsted - it's 11wpi. While I'm waiting for my dye order to get here, I have been doing some test swatching. Here are two patterns I have tried - this is not the yarn that I will be using - just some wool blend that I used for my last cat toy project. I think I will try some more open patterns next to make sure I get some length. I'll also be back behind my wheel this week to get some more spun up. It's been so much fun spinning and came out balanced - I can't wait to try my hand at a bit finer or more wpi yarn.

I love the design on the left.
I like the one on the left too!
I love BOTH designs! How I wish I could spin however I think something that is going on next year's "To-Do" list is how to dye. That sounds like so much fun!
I like the right design. It's gorgeous... Eagerly waiting to see what color(s) you're going to dye the yarn :)
cheers Eva
Oh my... both are truly beautiful! Your pal is very lucky indeed!
