The Whole Craft of Spinning from the Raw Material to the Finished Yarn | Carol Kroll

I'm currently spinning a blend of alpaca, silk and wool. I plan on chain plying it, making it a 3 ply yarn with finished. I'm not sure what I will make with it. It will depend on how many yards I get after plying. @Catsandbooks

Silk: The Story of the World's Most Luxurious Fabric | Aarathi Prasad

so-so

Ultimately this book is less about silk than it is about the men & women who chased all over the world collecting & studying the moths that produce it. It does provide a good overview of that & you do meet lots of interesting characters. But… the author makes some choices that reveal important gaps in her research & understanding of the regions/time periods covered in her book which is disappointing. As a result, I can‘t recommend this one.

The Whole Craft of Spinning from the Raw Material to the Finished Yarn | Carol Kroll

I finished spinning some laceweight vicuña yarn recently. It is an expensive fiber due to availability. This is .3 of an ounce and was a bucket list fiber for me. #showandtelltuesday #litsycrafters Hosted by @Catsandbooks

Eggbeater Wow! That's really impressive! 2mo

bookishbitch @Eggbeater Thank you! 2mo

Catsandbooks Wow! Looks so soft! 🌟 2mo

bookishbitch @Catsandbooks It is one of the softest fibers in the world to spin! It feels amazing. 2mo

PaperbackPirate What are you going to make with it? 😍 1mo

bookishbitch @PaperbackPirate It will likely end up as an accent area in a project I have in mind for some qiviut yarn I also spun. Although I'm about to spin some cashmere too, so it might depend on how well the colors go together with either yarn. 1mo

Lindy Lovely! I can imagine the softness. Did you make the bowl also? My current project, End Times by Amy Gunderson, is using up small balls of qiviut purchased at my guild‘s fibre auction. 1mo

bookishbitch @Lindy I did not make the bowl. It is from a company called scout and bean. I have several in various blues. Your project looks lovely! 1mo

Lindy @bookishbitch Thanks Marie. 1mo
