Slytherin and Gotland Yarns

Fiber & Textile Completed Projects
1

These skeins are part of larger projects. The Gotland is part of an eight-breed sampler, and I’ve only spun up about 3 ounces of 8 of the Slytherin colorway.

‘Slytherin’ is a 60/40 blend of Merino/silk from Paradise Fibers. It’s a chain-plied, Z-twist, DK weight yarn. There’s 246 yards in this 94g hank.

The Gotland was an interesting spin - it’s a long wool and has more drape and less spring than typical, crimpy wools. The finished yarn is S-twist, chain-plied, and worsted weight. There’s 175 yards in this 113g hank.

So pretty! I think I might have a drop spindle, somewhere…. Perhaps someday I’ll learn this skill.

These are both lovely! I think you nailed Slytherin in the first one.
