You guessed it, more yarn !!

This is my hand dyed lambswool and i plyed using a gold metalic crochet thread, i tried to be really clever and after a while i took the thread back up on itself to try to create a little nobby bit lol you cant see it to much in the pic but it looks good and i love the color combo to. This could make pretty funky dolls hair for our needle felting ?



I watched a youtube video tutorial on core spinning by Jazzturtlecreations , she is so good at what she does and the video was really easy to follow so i had to try, it took me a while to get the hang of it but i think i did ok. I used a fine crochet cotton as the base and my hand dyed lambswool i was trying to spin up into a textured yarn !!
