Sometimes, working with a soft but seemingly lackluster handspun yarn can surprise you.
I spun a skein of single-ply yarn out of some fabulous merino combed top, but I wasn’t very excited about the results. It sat around for a couple of years while I pondered its fate.
This winter, while looking for a quick and simple project to knock out in between working on larger garments, I found myself yearning for something thick and soft to counter all of the thin, hard lace I’d been working.
My handspun yarn just felt so luscious.
I’m glad that I chose to finally work this yarn up and find its true potential. I fell in love with the fiber again while feeling the yarn through my fingers and watching the colors pop out. Sometimes you just have to stick with it!
