2-ply Coopworth Yarn

A before and after look at the Kool-aid overdyed handspun yarn.

Date: 2005-07-15 thru 2005-09-27
Fiber Source:
Coopworth Recieved in a Sampler by Snow, then overdyed with one package each of Changin' Cherry, Artic Green Apple, and Lemon-Lime Kool-Aid.
Weight: 1.2 oz
Length: ~85 yds
Ply: 2-Ply
Set Method: Washed and Weighted
WPI: ??
Gauge: ?? (sport)
Spindle: Bubba (1.7 oz Bubinga from Spindlewood)

Notes: I wasn't much for the original shades of blue in this roving so after it was spun I overdyed it with Kool-Aid using the microwave method. I'm pretty happy with the new color. This roving was kind of sticky so there was no real smooth drafting possible so it is a bit slubby. It is also still rather rough, though less so than the Cotswold.
