remember the skirt i sewn myself ?
http://mytopteddy.blogspot.de/2014/04/it-is-springtime.html
and followed the steps of the lilac BFL i dyed and spun ?
here now the knitted top i made myself
i still wait on a day, with sunshine, me awake, and my hair not standing in all directions, to make a foto of the top worn with the skirt *sigh*
got a box full of gothland locks to spin into sock yarn
again i forgot to photograph a step, this time before washing :)
the finished product - 5 skeins - 640 grams
click on to the "more" to see the development from raw locks to yarn
98 gram, 340 meter, 3 ply
nice to knit with 3 to 4 mm needles with 5mm it will be very delecate and lofty
a gift from a lovely farm owner in UK :D
i carefully packed them away for now, the will be washed and processed with the needed love :)
i got from 7 spirit farms (USA) a looovely fleece
i wanted it - because i got it really low priced (shipping cost) - because of a lot of VM
well ... after washing it doesnt look SOOO bad ... does it ???
i need to pick a bit and flick a bit and card a bit, and get a lovely lovely fleece :D
sadly the knitted pattern is nearly not to see with the bright colours of the wool
i used this pattern : http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEwinter09/PATTpyroclastic.php
but i did modify it a bit
