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.

    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.
