Tourmaline is Spun
Posted on January 27th, 2007 at 3:25 pm by sherie
I’ve finally finished spinning the 8 oz of Corriedale pencil roving (Tourmaline is the colorway) which I purchased from Crown Mountain Farms. This is my 4th spinning project and I’m quite pleased with the results.
I ended up with 1,190 yards!! It’s 18 WPI, 2 ply. Spun on my new Kromski Sonata wheel. This yarn will be a Flower Basket Shawl soon. I can’t wait to knit it up and see how it looks.

you are truly a natural. It looks wonderful
It looks awesome!
That’s SOME yardage! Gorgeous stuff, and an FBS will show it off beautifully. Happy spinning!
That looks wonderful! You are so talented!
Sheri,
I knew you could do it. Wonderful job spinning. It looks professionally done. The colors are gorgeous. I’m looking forward to seeing how your shawl comes out.
Beautious stuff indeed - great yardage! It’s going to be the most beautiful FBS out there! Can’t wait to see it when it grows up
Gorgeous spinning! That will be plenty for a Flower Basket Shawl - it should be a very nice size!
Holy Smokeys! I’m glad you put in the stitch marker for size, it really shows your workwomanship. Gives me hope that I too shall learn.
I’m so glad you enjoy spinning and that yarn is just to die for. I love the color and it’ll make a great shawl. Keep on spinning.
