MIDST OF GLORY ART YARN JOURNEY

1. First, the clean wool ( merino?) on upper left corner is dyed, then carded together by hand . I use a hand spindle to spin the fibers, then roll it into a ball to ply ( upper right)


2.Here you can see the single ply ball on a bed of the original wool.


3. NOW to add the component ply, in this case, varigated crochet thread ( cotton)


4. These are plyed together on my trusty yet slow ashford traditional wheel.
