Dudleyspinner Tie Dye Roving/Combed Top: It's A Wedding Afghan

I am knitting this afghan for a wedding this fall. It is going to be quite large and match a rug that the couple has chosen for their new home.

Dudleyspinner Handpainted Tie Dye Wool Roving Combed Top/ Crabapple Cove

This is Crabapple Cove a combed top hand dyed roving that I spun up. I spun it from one end, then navajo plyed the singles into a three ply yarn. Tune in tomorrow to see the finished yarn. It looks a little like a watermelon when plyed.
When a piece of roving is in my inventory for a while, I usually end up spinning it just to see how it will look when done. I think this yarn may end up as socks for me, if it stays in my inventory too long.

Teaching at Longmont Dudleyspinner Handpainted Tie Dye Roving (TM) Combed Top

This gentleman was game enough to try spinning with a drop spindle at the Handweavers Guild of Boulder Annual Sale in Longmont Colorado in December. He stuck with it long enough to spin a pretty nice yarn and was asking his friend about borrowing a wheel to use. He was laid off work and thought it would keep him busy. Good idea.
I got some spinning done while the electricity was out for 8 days. I can spin in the dark! I never knew that. It may help that it was some dayglow orange dudleyspinner roving I was spinning

I got a bump of hemp fiber to play around with. I got some really good color when dying this colonial blue. This is available on etsy
