Spinning up Violas

…because of course, knitting a Daisy cardigan and Pansi socks just aren’t enough. There is a definite flower theme happening at the moment.

I thought I’d share the newest fibre on the wheel.

Wildcraft March Fibre club

This is the March fibre club shipment from Wildcraft. It’s a BFL/Silk blend in the Violas colourway and I have 200g that really want to become a vest for my little girl.

I wanted to do a long-draw with this fibre but it’s just not quite happening, likely due to the silk content, so I’m doing a supported long-draw instead. It’s going quite well so far and I’m loving the colours.

I’ll also be using this as one of my Project Spectrum East projects, although I’m not actually sure if I’ll manage to get it knit before the end of June. However, getting it spun up is definitely a step in the right direction to getting it done.
