Spinning Friday - 2IBH - Finn - Cries of Witchcraft

A brand-new skein of yummy handspun to share with y'all today. 

This is Finn (one of my favorite bases) from 2IBH.  The colorway is "Cries of Witchcraft".  I decided to dig in stash and find something to use for their Oct-Dec SAL/KAL, and I love these moody purple-blues. 

I spun this up after splitting the roving lengthwise into 6 mostly even strips. I then spun those and then plied the singles up into a 2-ply yarn.  I wound up with 210 yards/4 oz for the final finished skein.

The plan is to eventually knit this up into a Norie hat as the knit part of the KAL.  That'll hopefully go on the needles sometime later this month.

All for now.....

I like how the resulting yarn is very similar to the fiber pre-spin. Great moody colors.

Love spinning Finn...and love the colorway - great hat!

Longing for colors and dyeing ... off to Van Gogh exhibit soon. That ought to be inspirational.

Moody is a nice description. Finn is pretty poofy, which will make a nice, warm hat.

Finn was always a favorite of mine. It spun so easily and the yarn was so so soft! It's like it just wants to be a hat!
