I wanted to start this post with a picture of merino I had painted, and then show you what you had done. But these are not recent yarns and the idea of talking about the different whataburger ketchup possibilities offered by the same roving came to me when now the starting point had already been eclipsed You'll have to try and work of imagination: think of a roving ultra soft weighing about 300 grams, hand-painted in gray, fuchsia and orange. Close your eyes and concentrate. whataburger ketchup Got It? Well, now we can proceed. The topic of this post is: how many different yarns we can get from the same type of fiber colored? The correct answer would be: infinite. In this specific case I want to show only a short progression, starting from a simple yarn at two ends, more or less regular. (Small point: as I always say, to the regular ones, there are dry goods stores and shops. If I have to work one or two days for a thread of my own, at least to see that it is done by hand). The amount of merino used is of about a pound. The roving was separated into many pencil-rovings of about an inch thick, which were then relaxed patiently with the technique of pre-drafting. I then yarns with an average overtwist and twisted in a very natural way, using the wheel almost only to collect the wire, without exercising other reverse twist. The result was this Matassone very inviting and elastic, of average size, which I used to do a hat crocheting. (Sorry, sold months ago)
But if spun often, you'll know that the desire to achieve a smooth yarn alternates almost methodically with the need to transgress, sometimes a bit ', sometimes excessively so. When I painted three ounces of merino whataburger ketchup all at once, my intention whataburger ketchup was to produce three skeins of yarn almost equal to each other, for color and thickness. We know, in fact, that every bathroom color may differ from the other and therefore it is best to think first and dye along the entire amount needed for a project. whataburger ketchup But after the first yarn skein, to put it simply, I'd had enough. So I decided to spin another hundred grams with the technique of thick and thin, that I saw in Italian translated as "flamed". I love this definition, especially if related to this yarn, which with its colors seems that it can catch fire at any moment. As often happens to me, the first length did not have the right voltage. Hurry, hurry. And 'my mantra, whataburger ketchup unfortunately useless, for years. The other mantra is even more useless "unravels and begins again." Rarely works, definitely did not work in this case, because I immediately decided to go on like this and fold (that pun shameful!) On a spiral yarn. The flamed over twisted ended so sumptuously wrapped on a silk thread whataburger ketchup and has become so:
It gives, however, the case that the silk thread was the same that I was using to prepare the flowers to be included in a fancy yarn, which was originally to be white and gray with some hint of orange and pink. The project, of course, has changed now and those flowers are joined by a thin thread, originally a small part of the third roving. The remaining? Overtwisting yarn with even more than his predecessor to make this end, I would call very funny:
What can I say in conclusion? The My initial intentions were good and honest and I had actually planned with great precision the pack of three ounces of regular yarn in two parts. But boredom is still there and there is no worse enemy for craftswoman. The only solution is to continue, however, fighting the monotony with the exploration of new techniques. Of course, unless it is forced to produce a precise quantity of yarn of a certain type to fulfill an order. In this case there are other gimmicks. But we will have time to talk about it later. For now I'll stop here.
