Here's Kimberly's story...
On Saturday, I stopped by a new store in Vinton called Wooly Belle*. They had just gotten in some beautiful roving and top. Here is what I purchased:
 |
| Wool Top by Wild Hare Fibers |
Saturday night, I spun the top into this single ply yarn:
 |
| Single-ply yarn |
After letting the single ply yarn rest overnight to help set the twist, I plied it together and produced this two-ply yarn:
 |
| 4 ounces of the wool top produced approximately 192 yards of two-ply yarn |
I am not sure what I am going to do with this yarn, but didn't it turn out nice!
*Wooly Belle is located at 128 N. Pollard Street, Vinton, VA. Their hours are Mon-Sat 9-6 and Sun 12-5. The owner of Wooly Belle had this to say about her shop: "We have an eclectic group of vendors. We've researched and searched for the most unique items in the local area. We try to keep new things in the store and provide a unique experience when you come in, every time!
