Flash your Stash

Tami is hosting an ongoing flash your stash meme.

I wanted to participate so here's my stash:


Since this photo was taken about a month ago, I have only added a couple skeins more, honest :)

 ^ 5 skeins mulberry silk almost a thread.

 
^ 20 skeins worsted weight silk
^ 5 skeins laceweight silk

And then, as my previous blog entry stated, I've gotten into spinning, so I've got some roving:

^ The Deep Superwash Longwool 2oz
                              ^Ashland Bay Chartreuse Merino 64s 2 OZ                                     
^Superwash/tencel Butterscotch Ripple 8 Oz 
^1lb. 2oz. Tencel


And you should have seen my poor husband's face when I told him I was flashing people on the internet. LOL!

  4. The Deep Superwash is beautiful. I love the colours and it looks so soft - Yum!
    You're a tidy stash person, with all the ball bands. I wish I could do that. :)

  5. @Caroline at One Pointy Stick Lol, Yeah, I'm actually a bit OCD about it. I keep the bands on all of them until I get ready to work with that skein, then I take the band off and store it in an accordian folder so that I can go back later for wash/care instructions.

    Thank you! I don't any projects in mind yet. I'm just getting into buying the higher quality yarns, and I've found myself stuck at the "petting" stage. Once I get past that threshold though... look out :P I have no idea what I'll make out of it yet. Mostly I'm looking at scarf and shawl patterns.

    Oh you should give it a try! It's not the easiest thing in the wold, but it's not super hard either. You can do it! And as long as you keep at it, you'll have lovely handmade yarn in no time!
