Spinning orange. Nobody wants orange. I like orange, but this particular shade was not what I was going for. So naturally, this particular batch of mohair happened to be the most beautiful and easy to process. The lovely smoky dark stuff you see upper right, OTOH, was such a bitch I refused to go on after carding only four batts.

“You could have overdyed the orange, Tytania.” Jeezus, like I don’t have enough to do. I do intend to try blending some with brown.

Proud that I also motivated myself to sew a fleece lining into one of my knit hats, for warmth and snugger fit. Taking yesterday off was a GREAT idea.

Finished.

My gray looks awfully purple in this context.

The weather has turned and now my annual ‘winter project’ kicks off in earnest. Yes, another weaving. Gray plays a big role this year.

A nice combo, in a Millennial sort of way. But not really what I’m going for. I need to dye some brown and blend it to brown up these oranges.
