Preparation for Spinning: Wool top was torn into pieces and
drumcarded into multi-color batts. Batts were torn into strips for
spinning. Thrums were torn off old yarn sample cards and no
further preparation was necessary.
Reason for Choice of this Sample: Since extreme novelty yarns
are very popular right now, I thought it only appropriate to include
one. The yarn is soft but visually shocking and is probably the
least "hard-wearing" yarn I've ever spun.
Finishing: Yarn
was wound onto a skeiner, and washed aggressively
to full the yarn and help hold the thrums in place. Hung to dry.
Length of yarn:
Suggested Uses: This yarn is NOT suited to hard wearing
applications. Basically it's only purpose in life is a knit scarf
or perhaps as an accent yarn in a ruana. You see, spinning
doesn't always have to have a purpose; it can just be.
