Some Sunshine on a Gray Day?
Perhaps you recall a little over a month ago a silk edition of Eye Candy Friday? Well, this is what it grew up to be (so far anyway). It is rough 135 yds of fine silk singles. I have no idea what I’ll do with it. I also don’t know how much it weighs as I still haven’t gottena new battery for my scale. But, really my scale is a postal scale and isn’t as accurate as I think this small amount of silk would require. It is probably roughly 1/3 of an ounce as the hankies it was spun from were part of a 1 oz sampler pack that included two other colors. Though I did spindle spin a few layers too.
If you click on the top photo it’ll take you to Flickr where you can click on “All Sizes” and then set it as some springy desktop wallpaper if you would like.
I haven’t measured the WPI either. I know, I’m slacking on the job :-) But, the dime in here should give you a good idea of the weight. Definitely of the lace variety. This yarn has actually been complete for some time now, but I only just pulled it off of the bobbin over the weekend. We had rain on and off throughout the night and it looks as though the clouds are going to persist today so it seemed like a nice idea of have the shiny yellow silk as a bright spot in my gray day. If you are also having a gray day I hope you find it to be a nice pick-me-up as well.
