Sky Ride Handspun

I fought with my spinning wheel and spun a full small bobbin of this short stapled art batt a couple of years ago. I picked this wool up, another of the same variety in teal and black, and the wool I used for the Desert Dusk skein at a wool shop in Northampton that has since closed.

I still have some of the undyed wool from Desert Dusk, which I am excited to play with, as well as another variety that I had less success dyeing. I boiled half of that second batt whole, and while it took the color, it also kind of felted. I'll have to do a throwback on that at some point. Desert Dusk, I pulled into tufts when I dyed it.

Anyway, this batt came dyed. I sat down and tried to spin what was left of it, but the stale is really short, and I am not patient. It was a bit easier than I remembered it, probably because I have a bigger flyer, now.

We'll see if I try to spin it, or felt it into a scarf.

I got 48 yards out of 51 grams. I'm guessing that it's a thick and thin Aran weight. It's a little kinked up. Will probably keep and knit it myself.
