"Goats have some of the most wide-ranging and sexy fibers. From the strong and shimmery ringlets of the angora goat to the luxurious down of cashmere, goat fiber can stand alone or work beautifully blended with other fibers. It always brings something a little special to the party."

Lindy Love this quote. #knittersofLitsy need to start following you. 😊🐐 6y
Lindy @Simone62 did you dye this yarn? 6y
Simone62 Yes. Dyed and spun. The dyed hank is split in half then one ply is made with one half. The other half is split into eight for the other ply so you get a really long repeat with a bunch of short repeats on top. It probably would have been better to use in a larger project than the mittens, but I really wanted to knit it now! 6y

My latest knitting & spinning book. It's had great reviews. #knittersoflitsy #spinnersoflitsy #knitting #knit mostly about knitting with handspun but there are 12 knitting patterns in the back. Shawl is Flower Basket ( #Ravelry ) hat is from Weekend Hats -on the cover (forgot the name)

julesG Lovely shawl and hat. The colour is gorgeous. 7y
tricours Oh I need to knit more! 7y
Dolly Thanks! The color is actually a bit brighter green & blue than gray. It didn't photograph accurately. @julesG I was an avid knitter until I started #litsy. My interests are in competition with my 'free time' 😬@tricours 7y

drokka I love the colours in the yarn 7y
tricours I see no conflict, I only see audiobooks 😎 7y
julesG @tricours But some audiobooks are just plain awful. The book might be good but the narration drags it down. And I've recently had an audiobook that was so awful I was so confused that I lost track of which row I was knitting. 7y
Dolly I agree some audiobooks ARE terrible but are generally better than they were years ago (tapes). I had to LEARN how to listen & not drive or have another activity that took my attention for the first 20 pages or so. @tricours @julesG 7y
Dolly I also think listening vs reading uses different parts of your brain. When I used audiobooks exclusively my ability to spell correctly suffered 7y
Mdargusch I always wanted to learn how to spin. It's on my bucket list. 7y
Dolly If you're in west. Mass. I'll teach you @Mdargusch 7y
Mdargusch @dolly I'm in Ohio. The thing that stopped me was the cost of the spinning wheel. 😩 I even had a friend with sheep and she had bags of wool I could buy. 7y
Mdargusch Btw - your hat and shawl are beautiful! 7y
