I really like how the solid plying yarn adds depth and consistancy across the entirety of your yarn. <BR/><BR/>3) Stick-to-it-ness is great. I don't have it yet. Spinning has made me focus more on spinning. <BR/><BR/>4) The rug looks neat. Can't wait to see the finished product.<BR/><BR/>5) Spinning Slumber Party? When?

Spinning from the fold has much the same effect.<BR/><BR/>I saw one spinner who took half the length of some multicoloured top, split it lengthwise to separate it into the different colours - spun those up in a random order. She then spun the other half like you did with your Rose Quartz to get the heathered effect, and plied the two together - it was beautiful, and something that is definitely on my list of things to try.<BR/><BR/>Have fun with it!<BR/><BR/>AbiAbigalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08117908892623144837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23458391.post-1157660899234111032006-09-07T16:28:00.000-04:002006-09-07T16:28:00.000-04:00I do - I'd love a spinning slumber party! Alas, i...I do - I'd love a spinning slumber party! Alas, it would be a bit of a trek all the way over to the other side of the country.<BR/><BR/>I am in love with the Pink Quartz merino that you did - it's just beautiful. I have so much fun playing with the multi-coloured rovings like that, the heathered colours just look so nice all spun up - and it's always so interesting what it actually looks like in the yarn as opposed to the roving, don't you think?<BR/><BR/>Oh - and the rug is coming out very nicely as well - I'm determined that one of these days I will get around to knitting a rug for my house. Something I've always wanted, just not gotten to yet.<BR/><BR/>Have fun!<BR/><BR/>AbiAbigalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08117908892623144837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23458391.post-1157598551158091372006-09-06T23:09:00.000-04:002006-09-06T23:09:00.000-04:00Spinning slumber party?!?
