I was surprised it only weights 620g. And it's soo warm, yak yarn all the way, my new favourite.
Nastastie som ustrikovala spravnu velkost! Mikimu sedi sveter uplne superne. Velmi sa mu paci a stale ho nosi (esteze). Tiez nechape, ze ako je to mozne ze sveter nema ziadne sviky. Ja som strikovacka magicka, to preto. Ja som bola prekvapena, ze som potrebovala len 620g vlnky. A tiez je uplne teplucky. veru vlnka z jaka je super.
Experimental sample batt II spun into lovely single ply yarn, sort of fingering weight. It sheds like nothing else (I'm starting to dislike alpaca, I shouldn't have included it in the batt), but I like the texture. with lots of nepps and unevenes. It might become simple tank top, to show of the texture.
Experimantalny balicek c.2 som spriadla na jednovrstvovu vlnku. Pusta to chlpy strasne (zacinam nemat rada alpacu, nemala som to tam pridat) ale zato sa mi paci hrbolata textura a farba tiez. Mam taky plan, ze z toho bude take strikovane tricko bez rukavov.
I started a jumper for me, as well. It'll be oversized and short sleeved, made out of chunky yarn (DK held double) on huge 8mm needles, so hopefully a quick knit.
Takze som si zacala aj sveter pre seba, s kratkymi rukavmi a obrovsky. dufam, ze to bude rychlo ustrikovane, pouzivam obrovske, 8mm ihlice.
Also, here it is on my new project bag, that I made a while ago. Ikea fabric.
tu je to polozene na mojej kapsicke na strikovacie projekty, ktoru som si usila. Latka z Ikea.
In todays mail I got these lovelies - linen fibre and ramie (which is chinese nettle I think). I expected that ramie will have more texture and interest, it's shiny and soft almost like silk. Not bad, I just expected something different. Linen is soo nice, it almost looks like hair. I can't wait to make experimental sample batt no. IIIdneska som dostala postu a boli v nej tieto super 'chlpy' - lan a ramie, co je vraj cinska prhlava. velmi zaujimave. Lan vyzera uplne ako vlasy.

well done!!! the sweater looks great! i can't wait to see the one you do for yourself!
the sweater came out perfect. it will be interesting to hear how you like to spin the linen.
Splendid! What a well-crafted sweater.
Everything in this post is so lovely, I don't know where to start. The "experimental" handspun takes my breath away with it's delicate mix of colours. And that yak sweater is SO beautifully knitted!
I really love your aesthetics.
thank you all! you are too kind to me :)
I cant wait to spin linen too, just don't know whether to spin it as it is, or blend it... I'm thinking merino/linen, but that might not work out...
Hello,

Thank you
