Who knew? It’s as simple as purchasing a skein of super bulky weight acrylic yarn, unplying it, then respinning it. Voila, new acrylic yarn.
Tour de Fleece is a fiber spinning event, so why do the wool and wheel hardly figure in this photo? And why did I call this post Tour de Fibre instead of Tour de Fleece?
Thought it might be fun to show my process. I guess I’ve decided I prefer spinning the singles for the colorful variety of art yarn on a spindle, so that’s what I used. They’ll be plied on the wheel.
As anticipated, this second skein of art yarn is thinner than my first—more suitable for the pin loom. It seems a bit of a shame to cut it up; it reminds me of Native American jewelry.
The colors in this skein are toned down, so let’s see how its squares turn out.
