TdF day 18
3 - 4:15pm : Just an hour and fifteen minutes to complete this art yarn, it has slubby bits, thin bits, chunky bits, not so chunky bits, basically lots of texture in the fibre as I didn’t draft it out just held each little bundle in my hand and pulled at random throughout, the pretty little silk flowers went on fairly easily after the first couple which were very tricky. I had help from Ivan who fed the pink lurex yarn off its cone to me as I spun, this was a massive help because the first few yards it kept snapping from being over twisted. All in all a good ride, not too sure I’d do this again just yet but maybe soon.
