Zeitgeist Fiber Stash

California Red

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 18:02:00 +0000

Just shy of three pounds for an Aran sweater for me. I bought this from a woman out on the peninsula who put an ad up on Craigslist.

4.1 oz(?) from WhoaMule Farms, bought at the fleece sale on Whidbey Island.

Corriedale Fleece

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 18:48:00 +0000

4.6 pounds, although I'll apparently lose quite a bit once I wash it. I love the way the color changes from black to caremelly brown so suddenly; I hope I can preserve that when I spin it.

Firestar

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Sat, 24 Feb 2007 06:42:00 +0000

2 oz of Firestar nylon. I really have no idea what to do with this; I bought it because it was sparkly.

Undyed BFL

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Sat, 24 Feb 2007 06:38:00 +0000

Undyed Blue-Faced Leicester, which I may either dye or ply together with something colorful. 6 oz.

Yak

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Sat, 24 Feb 2007 03:27:00 +0000

1.75 oz of yak. I love this cream, and I've never seen the color replicated in sheepswool.

Navajo Wool

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Sat, 24 Feb 2007 03:18:00 +0000

Four of these came with my wheel. 39 oz.

Snakebite

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Sat, 24 Feb 2007 02:11:00 +0000

Blue-Faced Leicester in Snakebite, hand-dyed by Funky Carolina. 4 oz.

Inferno

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Sat, 24 Feb 2007 02:02:00 +0000

Blue-Faced Leicester in Inferno hand-dyed by Funky Carolina. 4 oz.

Bruised Peach

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Fri, 23 Feb 2007 22:31:00 +0000

Hand-dyed Corriedale from Funky Carolina; 4 oz.

Apple Orchard

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Fri, 23 Feb 2007 22:25:00 +0000

Absolutely lovely Merino/Tencel blend by Funky Carolina. 3.5 oz.

Brown Llama

8 oz by Elk Creek Llamas Fiberworks.

Big Pink

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Fri, 23 Feb 2007 22:20:00 +0000

A gigantic bump of slubby wool, hand-dyed in pinks and lavenders. The colors remind me of the sunset reflected in the windows of Big Pink in Portland. 16.7 oz.

Ocean

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Fri, 23 Feb 2007 22:19:00 +0000

Wool/mohair blend potluck roving purchased at Madrona; 8 oz.

Silken Embers

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Fri, 23 Feb 2007 21:44:00 +0000

1 oz, hand-dyed by Ruby's Daughter.

Undyed Pygora

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Fri, 23 Feb 2007 21:43:00 +0000

Purchased at Madrona after three days of oohing and ahhing. This is the softest thing I've ever felt. 2 oz.

Undyed Tussah Silk

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Fri, 23 Feb 2007 21:40:00 +0000

By Crown Mountain Farms, purchased at Madrona. I wanted something plain to learn on, since I've never spun silk, and I didn't want to be so paranoid about ruining a gorgeous hand-dyed hank that I wouldn't have any fun spinning it. I'll probably dye the final product. 2 oz.

Rose

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Fri, 23 Feb 2007 19:24:00 +0000

4.2 oz of New Zealand wool. I want to 2-ply this with a very dark charcoal; I haven't found the perfect color yet.

Blue Lagoon

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Fri, 23 Feb 2007 19:24:00 +0000

6.5 oz of New Zealand wool.

Undyed Corriedale

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Fri, 23 Feb 2007 19:22:00 +0000

8 oz. of Crown Mountain Farms Corriedale. I'm doing this as a 3-ply, and I'll dye it once I'm done plying. One bobbin spun up so far, and the rest are waiting until I get a jumbo flyer unit for plying larger quantities.

Cumulus

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Fri, 23 Feb 2007 19:20:00 +0000

Some white mystery fiber that came with my wheel; this stuff is fluffy and unbearably soft. I may try dyeing the yarn after I've spun it up. 4.2 oz.

Brown BFL

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Fri, 23 Feb 2007 19:19:00 +0000

Blue-Faced Leicester, 3 oz.

Seattle Garden

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Fri, 23 Feb 2007 19:14:00 +0000

DELORTED!
See Seattle Garden all spun up here.

1.2 oz of Merino in a pinkish heathered colorway, Snapdragon, and .5 oz of the grey mystery wool I learned on. I want to do these as a 3 ply with two strands of merino, one of the grey.

Cotton Candy

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Fri, 23 Feb 2007 19:08:00 +0000

Wool top. I think this is also referred to as pencil roving; it looks like it's already pre-drafted. 7.8 oz.
