I may or may not have purchased some hand spun from the Topeka Twister yesterday….oh who I am kidding, of course I did!! This is really my first foray into hand spun yarn created by a fiber artist. I’m excited, here are my purchases:
I’m thinking a headband for this. Maybe Calirometry by Kathryn Schoendorf?
And for this wonderful skein, I’m thinking socks? It is a bit scratchy but I think a good bath with a lanolin based wool wash will soften it up a bit!
Happy Knitting!

Lovely stuff!
They look amazing. I can’t wait to see what you make with them. Hurry….as if you needed the encouragement.
Ha!
Oooooh handspun! so pretty!!
Knitting with handspun is a lot of fun! A headband is a good idea for the first skein. It’s hard to tell from the second but it looks like it’s a singles yarn (not plied)? If so, I wouldn’t recommend it for socks. You want 2-ply or preferably 3-ply for strong socks.
Good to know! What would you recommend for single ply?
The headband would be awesome I’ve made one and have been meaning to make another. Thanks for liking my post.
Those skeins look so squishy and knittable! I can’t wait to see what you make with both of them 🙂
