Latest spin, 70% Shetland 30% silk. Two ply, 274 yards. When I first saw this combination I was dubious, but it's beautiful spun up, and enjoyable to spin. #spinsky #handspinning

Latest spin, 50% Merino wool, 25% bamboo fiber, 25% silk. It has an interesting luster, presumably from the addition of the bamboo. #handspun #spinsky

I wanted to try textured batts, I have friends that love them, but I don't really like spinning them. This is a purple batt plied with a grey and black batt, both with silk, some kinds of plant fibers and something sparkly.
