Mystery spin - three

So now that it is revealed here are the niddy gritty details.

Thrumbs -some Cotton & acrylic, but mostly wool or wool blend. total weight 3grams.

 lighter colored alpaca - I bought this second hand and it wasn't labelled as to what type of alpaca, it is softer than the one below. 30 grams.

 Darker colored - same label problem - it is harsher and thicker in texture than most alpaca I have worked with. 60 grams

 Lincoln longwool - some veg, clean but unprocessed otherwise. 55 grams

 brown sheep wool roving from Wyoming. 14 grams

 Mohair roving from the same mill in Wyoming near my Grandpa's house. 16 grams

 This is Correidale sheep's wool. I was very unhappy with this purchase as there was a huge (about a pound) ball of muddy yuck in the center of the fleece, I couldn't see it at the time of purchase. There was also a ton of veg - I am very tolerant as that goes but this was excessive. I will not be buying from this farmer again. I like spinning Correidale and this is courser than many I have worked with. 18 grams.

 This is Rose fiber, it is rayon made from rose stems, it is soft and flyaway and lovely. 48 grams

 don't forget the beads!

So here we are the Mystery Spin revealed. I am excited but honestly have no clue what to do yet. Still pondering, one viewer asked me to discuss how I will be addressing the differing stable lengths  and I sure will - after I figure out what I am doing. One current thought is sort them into two strands by stable length, ply them together and then autoply beaded thread around them. But I haven't decided.

Make nine in 2018
This bag as a knitting tote, without a bow, enlarging the side pouch to hold a water bottle and adding a camera pouch. Expect walks and photos!

 This skirt pattern. I really like the green one shown and will likely make a few in different lengths.

 The white bag on the bottom. to replace a book bag I had to toss.

 The green tunic length and the one with the curved hemline.

 Middle left one and bottom orange one.

 I love this dress! the center style.

 The dress and later in the year I want to weave fabric for the jacket.

 The long one!

 These are my hiking pants! I will be making several pairs. I realize as you have no doubt realized that this is more than nine. I can count! I think, I can anyway. Part of the reason I will be making so many things is I will be participating in the Ready to Wear Fast this year.

I will also be doing Anna Knitter's Treasure Chest KAL, Spin the Bin, and the Box of Sox KAL
