This is pretty much the most expensive skein I have spun so far. First I spun a chunky single with some yellow, green and reddish fleece that I had laying around, but it’s what it’s plied with that contains the story. I was given a beautiful, green scrappy batt from Felt Fine. I love spinning scrappy batts and this time I wanted to see how fine I could spin it. It took me ages to spin the whole batt as thin and neat as I could. I thought I would ply it with silk thread to give it strength and a bit more sheen. The batt had Angelina fibres in it so it already had some sparkle. I headed off to Spotlight and got myself some silk thread and I was ready to ply my lovely single. I very soon realised that I had not thought this through properly, as the silk thread ran out after a couple of minutes. I had only bought 100m and my single was several hundred. Oh, bother! So I had to ply the rest with something else, but the 100m I already had, I used to ply with my chunky single. I’m happy with how it turned out, but a lot more time and money went into this skein than you would think.
