Aaand the obligatory collage from batts to shawl 🥰

I can not tell you how much serotonin this gives me to see it like that

Edit: i should really start adding the patterns!

Shieldmaiden Lace Shawl pattern by Anna Victoria

Inspired by Éowyn, the Shieldmaiden of Rohan -

Ending up doing both, dark purple with pinkish, and then some white.

Resting on the bobbin now, but how does it look? 🥺

I have to finish this silk and then I can finally work on the steaming experiment!

But the motor run hot and now the eew needs a break 😅

Two ply tussah silk

10grams I wonder what the yardage will be 👀

[comfortabletextiles]

I am aware that i can spin fairly fine with the right tools and fiber, but now that i am winding my knoddy knoddy it translates it better into my brain. That is downright unbelievable

I mean, these are 10 TEN threads

At least it's a bit inconsistent 🤣 so i feel better about myself

Also who wants to bet how much yarn this is? I haven't worked enough with lace weight to estimate the yardage. 100g in roughly 32 WPI

Aaaand time for a bath!

100g 32wpi 1000m/1090yards now THAT sounds about right!

I am TIRED now!

✨all plyed✨

Now I have to let it rest a bit and then i can count how much i have 👀

[comfortabletextiles]

Rewound the silk i soun ages ago, to know how many meters i have, so i can search for projects better 👀

806m!

Also i want to overdye it, because while the roving was beautiful, the color bleed onto each other. And i want the lace to be in the center of attention not the chaotic color.
