#corriedale

[disgruntled-lifeform]

Spent some time spinning outside today, hopefully the wool will absorb some of the last of the summer warmth and hold onto it to make some super cozy winter socks :3

All my handspun plying balls, waiting for me to be in a spindle plying mood.

Y'all I have made a terrible discovery that has shaken me to my core:

Different fibers feel different.

I have been working with merino blends for my past few spins. I went to go card some corriedale and the way my skin had an absolute fit oh my god!

I knew the merino I was using was soft but dang... It made the corriedale down right unpleasant.

Help! How do you get past this? I have like... 5oz of corriedale left that I do not want to waste but it's so coarse in comparison that my brain is throwing a fit.

From teeny tiny tops blended on a hair comb to a deliciously fluffy woodland themed yarn! Approximately 100g corriedale. The minty colour in it is slightly greener in real life; what can ya do...

Progress on my Corrie Hap!Yesterday was a great knitting day. I am about halfway through the border and loving the colour combination in the stripes.

Spinning some of my dot dyed corriedale from that workshop and I think it looks pretty great!

Finally finished and photographed my spindle Corriedale yarns. The top row is the tutti fruitti colors, while the bottom are select colors of the galaxy range. I'm now starting the greys of the weather range. All spun on my Golding mini and plied on my mjolnir spindle.

'Morning!!

Warming up & getting excited for Tour de Fleece next month ✨ with team Camp Wooligan

Another superbly skilled spinner kindly suggested I try out the Corriedale I have waiting in my fiber stash instead of diving back into commercially dyed merino and merino blends (I treasure the undyed fibers I have more and wanted to do them more justice), and I am SO glad I followed their wise advice as I practiced practicing on these little ~2oz samples. I immediately could see why they recommended the corrie and also why BFL is often recommended for beginners as well: I felt like I was doing something close to right.

I have one more sample to get to once I empty at least one of these bobbins, and then all that's left is trying to contain my excitement and hold back on spinning until Tour de Fleece officially starts!

And the final plied results from brushing off the heavy coat of rust off my spinning and doing some samples of the breeds I currently have.

Not anywhere near the weight I eventually want to be able to ply to, but a small step closer, and a small step closer toward consistent, as well. It was fascinating seeing how each wool gave me a different experience, and how much each of the plied yarns bloomed after a soak.

I really enjoyed my first foray into feeling and seeing the differences in working with different types of wool, and I've got a bunch more on the way to sample for Tour de Fleece next month.

🤎 Correidale, ~1.8oz, ~30y

🤍 Cheviot, ~2.1oz, ~32y

🩶 Bluefaced Leicester, ~2.1oz, ~31y

🧡 Shetland (broken top), ~2oz, ~43y

All fiber from Blue Moon Alpacas (shop | IG) and spun on my one and only Lendeum double treadle.

I also have been knitting a lot of cardigans and sweaters this past spring, and hopefully will muster the gumption to block them & weave in all their ends to take some photos to share.

came home with a bagful of this cheviot to play around with, plus a bag of romney and a bag of black faced suffolk. i think i have enough to make a pair of socks from each to see how they all wear !

Finished spinning that 50g of Corriedale!

Now to impatiently let it rest before measuring and then I finally have a usable metric for pricing!

I am so excited to see how much length I get out of this amount of wool ^_^
