Luisa – Twisted Yarns

As I am stuck indoors for 12 weeks, I decided to do something useful! Once my spinning is better, I shall be adding handspun yarn and fibre to Twisted Yarns’ shop as well as my usual yarn. Can’t wait to get some dyeing done, might see if I can do some at the weekend. 🐑

This is the result so far after my spinning lesson today. The fibre is a silk and merino blend and to think my first merino attempt was the blobby pink ‘yarn’! After today’s lesson, I think I’ve got the hang of it. 😁@yellingpig @knittingneedlelane

I made my Luciana cowl using yarn I spun on my spinning wheel. Just what is needed on a cold, windy day. 🙂 #spinningwheel #yarn #handdyedyarn

At last I have found something to replace cling film for dyeing my yarn! It is a cut to size silicone wrap which can be heated in a steamer/oven/microwave and then just washed and re-used. Using cling film was really annoying me, so am really pleased to have found this. 🤗 #ecofriendly

Well……today was meant to be a dye day, but as you can see I only got as far as washing the yarn! Basically, trying to squeeze in a visit from the Electrician, painting the undercoat on the skirting boards and dyeing a batch of yarn was too much to do in the 3 hours I had in the morning before picking my youngest up from nursery! So, I shall have to do some dyeing tomorrow morning before my husband and I lay the living room floor! Rotfl. 😂 #indiedyer
