Before I get there I need to do some sampling. I&#8217;ve now spun up 100 grams of each colour (the picture at the top of this post). The next step is to try weaving it &#8211; so I&#8217;ll make a scarf to see how the fabric comes out. I&#8217;m still thinking about what weave structure to use, so please leave your suggestions in the comments. I&#8217;m quite partial to huck lace, but I&#8217;m sure there are other weave structures that would make nice garment material.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spinning is an activity that I usually enjoy in the evening &#8211; so each project moves slowly.
