Jillian’s Spinning: New First Fall Knittyspin is Live!

First Fall Knitty is live, which means there’s a new Knittyspin too!

Have you looked yet?

There’s a beautiful sweater, Canoe, by Amy King, spun from wool/flax.

Can you Canoe?

A wear- all- the-time vest, Vertical Ridge, by Lyn Hale.

Knit side to side stripes.

My Knittyspin column this time is about ply and knitting.

How many plies do you like?

I spun and knit a pile of samples.

A pile of plying.

In Fiber Fiesta our intrepid spinners spun Porpoise Fur  texel, Three Waters Farm alpaca, merino, tussah and Fibre Forager corriedale.

Yummy, yummy fibers

I also review the Hansen eSpinner, the TravelKate and Yarnometer cards.

Shopping anyone?

Let me know what you think of this issue, and anything you’d like to see in the future ones.

Enjoy!
