My latest spin is Shaniko dyed by Yarn Jam, ‘Glacier Lake.’ I’m making a 3 ply and aiming for fingering to sport wt. I have 12 oz so that means 9 bobbins of singles. Good thing spinning singles is my favorite part! ❤️🧶 #yarn #spinningyarn #yarnspinner #flufftoyarn
4 Bright blue-green bobbins and Shaniko roving from Yarn Jam.
