Today’s yarn spam brought to you by Marrakesh, dyed by Kairee @chaoticfibres. Marrakesh, formerly known as HDBP, is 80% Polwarth/20% Bamboo and it’s a velvety soft and very elastic heavy DK/light worsted weight.

392 yards/358 metres in 214 grams/7.6 ounces, 10 WPI.
A collage of handspun yarn and the fibre used to spin it (lower left). Upper right depicts the yarn before plying on a spinning wheel bobbin. The bobbin is laid across the remaining half of the fibre. The colours of the hand dyed fibre are primarily pink, purple, rust and gold. The spun and plied yarn on a wraps per inch measuring tool. The tool is made of wood and has a one inch gap at the top. The handspun rust coloured yarn is wrapped within the one inch notch to give a wraps per inch measurement. The wraps per inch, or WPI, gives us an idea of the grist of the yarn and the gauge it will knit or crochet at. The WPI tool is being held in my hand and there are green leaves and carpet in the background. 2 ply yarn shown stretched on a skein winder. The colours of the yarn are rust, gold and purple but the overall effect is of a heathered pinky-purple due to optical blending.

Current spin is a hand-dyed natural grey merino. Such a smooth easy spin. Just lovely. I have 3 @ 115 grams to make a 3-ply. Aiming for fingering to sport. It will be interesting to see this plied. #handspinning #chaoticfibres #EEW6 #handspun
