Wash day!!

More details and pics under the cut!

I got 6 skeins here, all of them washed in warm soapy water, then temp shocked (moved between warm and cold water 2x), rinsed and wrung.

Snapped them a few times between my arms and hung them up outside.

First skein:

Dyed wool braid (corriedale 60% , cheviot 29%, bond merino 11%) by Ethereal Medusa, purchased from Cat and Sparrow

Chain plyed

Second Skein:

Same as first, different colours!

Also chain plyed

Third skein:

Dyed braid of Merino wool 50% and mulberry silk 50% by Glenhaven Knits

Biggest improvement from washing and setting, so much more balanced!

Chain plyed

Fourth Skein:

Lil 50gm ball of Finnish wool roving by Fleece Flock and Fibre

Really love the feel, it not course or scratchy at all, and so light.

2 ply

Fifth and Sixth Skeins:

(image limit reached :( sad)

One ball of Charollais roving split into 2 skeins, also bought from Fleece Flock and Fibre. It's amazing stuff, my first time with this breed. The skeins are 2 ply, and so bouncy and squishy! Heaps of elasticity!

Going to be keeping my eyes open for more of this.

Guess who's feeling nostalgic for calving season with my babies. Pictured are Princess & Julius the day after he was born, Julius by himself the same day, Fresh Cool and baby Izzy (who is going to have her first baby in February!!)

Another picture of baby Izzy when she first was let outside with momma, and then Fool's Gold with his momma the day after he was born. He was one of the first few calves I helped pull into this world since he weighed at least 110 lbs. and his momma couldn't have him on her own (3rd baby too!)
