Ravelympics – A Slow Start
The last week has rushed by in the blur of mayhem and chaos that is shop update and club packing week. I did manage to find time to get a 86 gram (3 ounce) sample spun, washed and dried.
Fibre: Polwarth Top in “Green Tea” from Southern Cross Fibre
Spinning method: Woollen spun 3-ply from rolags (see post here for details)
Yardage: 174 yards / 160 metres
Weight: 3 ounces / 86 grams
Yards per Pound: 927 ypp (Heavy Worsted/Aran weight)
This yarn should be a good substitute for Cascade Eco Wool, so it is time to cast on and get busy spinning the rest of the fibre.
There is a lot of 1×1 ribbing in the Fog Sweater, so I’m almost tempted to suck it up swatch in continental to see how bad my gauge is. Almost.
That looks fantastic! It should be fun to knit with - good luck!
