my first experience spinning ramie - far softer than I’d ever expect a bast plant fiber to be! it is naturally dyed with alkanet bark to this perfect pale dusty purple.

I affectionately call this one skein Clown Barf. Lightly felted wool spun in two singles and plied together.
Teaching this technique in fiber class next week.

Naturally dyed the wool fiber deep yellow with annatto seeds, hand spun- then stuck in the crimson red acid dye bath to soak up the excess- wish the photo did it justice- the color is surreal!

whipped up some seriously flashy yarn the other day- still on the wheel, got another ounce or so to spin. i carded this batt ages ago with a friend’s rug hooking leftovers and some basic gray wool -should be fun to knit up a funky hat with this stuff!
