athena finished

Getting ready to spin with some lovely fluffly white alpaca, golden brown bfl wool, pink sparkle, some custom batts of merino (gold, pink, browns) and vintage pink and pinker fuzzy thread...

Here is Athena...58 yards of hand dyed, hand carded batts of merino and romney...bits of sparkle, spun thick and thin with lofty bits and slubs...plied with a kinky powder blue yarn... soft and squishy!














on a side note: im a little frustrated with some mohair that I have...its so filled with veggie matter (vm) its ridiculous! Im trying my best not to fall asleep while slowly picking through it and gently shaking and fluffing it all out...my carder wont really get it out either...time for a new drum carder? yeah, i think so!
