I have been having a blast spinning on my Schacht Ladybug! In the beginning I thought that 3 ply yarns were all that I would create, but since then I have discovered the joys of 2 ply yarn. While I still have consistency issues, the journey has been a lot of fun and created some beautiful yarns. From the bottom up, the purple is a corriedale roving plied with a merino strand, the next skein is the same corriedale plied with itself.
From left to right the first ball is a pretty blue roving I got from Paradise Fibers (it has rose silk in it) plied with a white merino. The second ball is the same roving plied with itself and a bit of a lighter blue roving I had from paradise fibers. The third ball is a random batt I had lying around (It was bit coarse and almost cotton like) plied with a merino. All five have been washed so this is their final appearance. As of the time that I am writing this post, I have NO IDEA what I am going to do with them! Cowls, fingerless gloves, or weaving samples the possibilities are endless! Such lovely dilemmas.
Happy Crafting.
