Notes for Episode

WestCoast Colour BFL+Silk – 100gr

(Ravelry Project Page here)

• Lendrum Saxony 18:1, double drive
• spun half without pre-drafting or attenuating, striped and attenuating for 2nd half
• AShford eSpinner 3 – perfect for a quick ply
• plied from centre-pull ball

Pressed Flowers Cardigan – Amy Christoffers

(Ravelry Project Page)

• pick up on sleeves challenging – difficult to get correct number of stitches
• need enough for the stitch repeat
• ended up with one full repeat short in the drop shoulder, where the sleeves start 
• (?) too small

WestCoast Colour ‘Toothy’

(Ravelry Project Page here)

• Majacraft Rose, 27:1
• spinning continuous backwards, smoothing lightly, allowing texture to go through
• keeping distance of draft
• definitely toothy

Kainuu Harmaas

(Ravelry Project Page)

• continuous backwards with gentle smoothing
• lock pop → drumcarding with 4 passes → carding up small nest and pre-attenuating from there
