This is one of my favorite handspun yarns from last year. The fiber was club fiber from FatCatKnit's Mixed Blessings September 2010.
It's Falkland wool, 10oz. I made 8oz of it into 2 skeins of worsted weight yarn, 2-ply, and a total of 365yds.
I also wanted to see how it looked navajo plied, so with the left over fiber I made a little skein of 120yds (2oz), which can be found in my shop.
I like them both.

It's been snowing last night, and we've got about 10cm of fresh snow. The boys enjoyed it, even though it seems to be much colder today, because after not even five minutes out, they started to lift their paws. Nevertheless, they love it!
And Denny says, "Come play with me!"
Have a wonderful weekend!

Coming right over Denny :)
Great action shot of them both and lovely handspun as always!
Ooh, that yarn is beautiful!
And I love the shots of the boys playing in the snow. Great photos.
Great photos of Denny! Those yarn colors (and my gosh the impeccable job you did spinning it!) are wonderful as well.
I like those fiber colors. I decided to rejoin her club after seeing the different options for fiber types so I'm looking forward to the first shipment. Denny looks so sweet that you must have started playing with him right away!
We've got about an inch of snow that actually has melted off yet, so the dogs were liking that. By the sounds of our weekend forecast, though, I think they'll finally get some real snow on Sunday. I wish our yard was totally fenced in, though, so I could let them out to play together. They run away, so it's one at a time, or I take Maggie out on a leash, and they get all tangled up.
Inspiring yarn and gorgeous dog piccies! Its nice to catch up with your things again!
Isn't it wonderful when they come in from their play cleaner than they went out? We had snow today so I and my two furries had a wonderful walk in the woods. Was Maggie watching through the window? You'd have lost her in that snow...
Boys. They're so cute but it looks so cold!
Mixed blessing spun up prettily.
Love that first picture of Denny! I would come play if I could!
STOP tempting my to go play in your shop (but i guess it's only fair 'cause I keep doing it to you...) Love the last pic of the boys going in different directions!
The snow is beautiful and the boys look like they are having a wonderful time.
Denny is so excited and having so much fun in the snow!! He does love to play, which is such a lovely thing!!
Nothing like a happy dog bounding about in the snow!
Hi, I've been following you for years (won one of your giveaway contests as well as got a personal tutorial of the goddess doll! Anywhoooo...another question! I just knitted a hat for my granddaughter out of reynold's Blizzard (because that's my daughter's favorite and her request). She wants mittens to match, but the yearn is so bulky I'm having trouble finding a pattern for little 3 year old hands. Any suggestions? Thanks! marianne ps LOVE this granny square blanket. It reminds me of one my mama used for me in the car when I was little.
