Day 2: Handspun yarn

The process was this: take some white rovings, dye them with acid dyes (spruce and royal blue) in an oldschool olive green crockpot (for dyeing only!), then spin it all up on my little upright spinning wheel. I call this skein ‘February Storm’, as much for the color as the monstrous piles of snow that have landed overnight.
