Hand-dyed, handspun SOCK YARN!
I actually have done a little dyeing recently! Thanks to some of the lovely ladies with the Peachtree Handspinners Guild who helped us dye noobs and showed us the ropes. Here is some shetland that bore the brunt of my experiments:
And here is the crown jewel of my efforts for that day, superwash merino for hand-dyed, handspun socks! On the bobbin:
Very happy colors. And here is the end result!
This was also my first navajo ply, not too bad I don't think.
Didn't measure the wraps per inch, but I'd guess it's about a sportweight. 300 yards. I am imagining some toe-up socks with big, loose cuffs for padding around the house!

Beautiful. You've come so far, so fast... And you're certainly making the time until I'm reunited with my wheel (2.5 weeks) feel like two thousand years!
