I have to say, I’m insanely proud of this one. Not only do I think it’s amazingly beautiful, but it’s probably the most technically perfect yarn I’ve ever made.

It’s ply time! This is going to be chain plied, which is not my comfort zone, but it was the best answer for these beautiful gradient batts.

Slow progress the last couple of days, with a lot more beach time than spinning time.

Left: a perfect lace murex shell, fresh from the sea and unbleached - this shell has tan details on the body of the shell, with off-white “lacy” protrusions; middle: a wenteltrap shell, which is a tiny, bright white, conical shell with spiraling ridges; right: an alphabet cone shell - this shell is off-white with brown dots and dashes as patterning, similar in appearance to written letters.

Yesterday’s spinning, and my favorite 3 shell acquisitions from the trip so far!

I used the rest day as make up. I finished the singles for my first spin and started on the next - a jewel-tone gradient batt set that will be chain-plied.

7/15 was a rest day, and I took it. 7/16 was my fiber arts group meetup, so I got to spin a good bit!

Handspun yarn singles that fade from a light teal and cream to a darker teal and slate gray, resting on a bright rosey pink 3D printed bobbin.  The words “Daedalus Martin” peek through below the bobbin and “Stage 2: 7/6” has been added to the image in pink font.

Productive weekend! Progress will slow for the work week, but my goal is to spin at least a little every day.

Products — The Yarn Pharm My handspun yarns are made with projects in mind! Most skeins are over 200g (8oz), and some are over 300g (12oz). These skeins are 2 to 3 times the amount of yarn in a normal skein, and I spin them ...

Lots of new yarns added to the shop!

All the way to yellow! Yellow is color 20/64, so I’m almost 1/3 of the way done. It’s so fun to watch the colors progress.

Every 4th color is the unblended representation of what I got from the dyer. Color 4 = magenta, 8 = red, 12 = coral, 16 = orange, 20 = yellow.

5 colors down, 59 to go! 😆

I’m really loving this spin - I can’t wait to get to the next color, and semi-woolen drafting is so easy on my hands. #draftslikebutter

First 3 colors of the rainbow completed on all 3 bobbins! Yes, I know this documentation is a bit obsessive, and yes, I know I’m unlikely to maintain it. Humor me 😆

You won’t get many finished yarn photos for a while - just updates on this 2lb rainbow spin! It was 16 colors, but I blended them to make smoother transitions.

This one didn’t have a name or a fiber type on the label. I *think* it’s probably Polwarth - it’s super plump and squishy. It was dyed by Rock and String Creations.

Another one bites the dust!

I can’t get over how satisfying it is to my perfectionist inclinations to have the plies be this close to even in length.
