Custom Spinning Job - Denise


I just finished a custom spinning job for a woman in California. She does not know how to spin. The roving is a smooth wool / kid mohair blend that may have some silk in it.

I did a burn test and it self extinguished. That tells me it's wool and animal fiber.

The purchaser wanted a worsted weight yarn for a scarf using the fiber from her mother's roving stash. Sadly her mother passed away leaving it unspun.

It turned out pretty well. She wanted a soft hand. The fiber will not support much of a pattern. The purchaser wants to do a simple knitting pattern to show off the fiber - a good choice.
