I’ve been trucking along on making and spinning batts for my Justify wrap. Here’s a family portrait of all the ones I’ve spun so far (no idea yet on yardage, but it’s all in the worsted to chunky range).

The 2 batts I made using the Harrisville tweed felting batts made a very rustic yarn, as you can see. The green had more non-tweed fiber carded in, and was much easier to deal with as a result. It was an interesting experiment but I think I’ll leave this stuff for the felters, or maybe add just a little to batts in the future. Extensive searches on google and Ravelry don’t seem to turn up many examples of it being used for spinning. It’s too bad it doesn’t work well for spining, because the colors are amazing and I have a weakness for tweedy yarns.

Plying the singles from the below two batts together was totally Jag’s idea and I love the result.

As of yesterday I’ve cast on for the Lutea Lace-Shoulder Shell from an older Spring Interweave. I’m using O-Wool Balance, which is a 50/50 cotton/merino blend. It feels wonderful and should be great for summer. I just hope I don’t run out of yarn.

My progress so far:
