Yarn Candy
On the yarn crawl I picked up some wonderful roving at La Petite Knitterie.
I did remember to actually take a picture of the roving…but just barely. I had spun all but what is in the pic before I remembered….blog….camera…pic, but you get the idea. It started out like this:
This is Hand Painted Rovings by Lori Lawson of Capistrano Fiber Art Studio. Unfortuantely I can’t remember the colorway, but it is approximately 2.0 oz and it’s Alpaca/Merino Wool/Tussa Silk (50/30/20)
And this lovely yarn is what I ended up with. It is approx. 130 yards. 10wpi, so that makes it a worsted weight yarn, and it is wondefully soft. This is the best pic I could get, and I still don’t think it does justice to the colors.
I’m thinking it either wants to become wrist warmers or a narrow drop stitch scarf, I haven’t quite decided yet, we’ll see what it finally turns out to be.
Wow. That is GORGEOUS!! It would make a beautiful anything.

Wonderful! The painted roving was gorgeous by itself, but the yarn looks even yummier–and now it’s ready to use! Woo hoo!

It’s amazing! Can’t wait to ooh and aah over it in person. hint hint
Sorry for being the reason you had to reset your bar for days not buying yarn!
