The spinning of my Texel fleece is complete.
1,480 yards 50 grams = 200 yards
The closest comparable commercial yarn I’ve been able to find (in terms of weight and yardage) is Rowan Felted Tweed. That looks about right, based on a visual comparison.
The next thing I need to do is find a suitable pattern to knit. More on this in the coming days.
I’ll happily take suggestions.
Beautiful handspun!!
I have just started to spin. This yarn is beautiful
Congrats! Are you thinking of dyeing it, or just knitting it au naturel?
I was planning on using the yarn undyed. I really like the creamy white color. Also, I’ve never dyed anything before and I don’t think I want to experiment on something that’s taken this much effort 😉 I’ll try that on something I’ve bought and don’t care that much about. 🙂
Lovely! When I saw the natural look and color of your yarn, two projects came to my mind: Port o’ Leith by Kate Davies and Such a Winter’s day by Heidi Kirrmaier. But it seems that Your yarn is a bit too thin… Perhaps You have enough to hold it double? Or You can always make a Still Light… 🙂
I thought about Such a Winter’s Day. I need to do some swatching to see what works with this yarn. I’m new to long-draw so I need a pattern that will be forgiving of a bit of unevenness.
Lovely!! I think this would make a gorgeous cabled sweater. (I have a small obsession with cream sweaters with yummy cables.)
Wow that is an impressive spinning haul. Beautiful yarn.
You should do the Ease pattern on Ravelry! 🙂
Love the yarn, recommend dying it teal.
Good call, that’s a cute sweater.
Gorgeous hand spun, simply gorgeous. Congrats on all your hard work!
Yay, well done! 🙂
Very nice!
Gorgeous! Something that light-colored would look amazing in a textured knit. I’m partial to cables myself.
Wow, beautiful.
Great job! Can’t wait to see what you knit it into 🙂 ❤
