Coils

After reading the latest Spin-Off, I had to try the coils that were featured on the cover.

This was a lot of fun. It took longer to make them then I thought, but wasn’t intensive at all.

Here’s the close up shot.

Now what to knit. I’m thinking something simple to show off the yarn.

This was merino/tencel wool - 2 ounces from the sheep shed.  Coiled on crochet yarn.  I think it’s about 3o yards.

Very cool! I admit I skimmed over that feature because I never know what you’re supposed to make with yarn like that. It’s gorgeous just as a conversation piece, but I’m very interested to see what you do with it.

Oh, how VERY cool! I guess I am going to have to buy that issue of Spin-Off.
