What better to do on a rainy nap time then to spin up some Faux Cashmere!
Spinolution King Bee
So I'm working on a custom colorway for a local shop ( shout out to Atomic Fibers in Oak Ridge TN). Half of the order is going to be on Merino with silver sparkles and the other half is going to be on Faux Cashmere which I was very excited that the shop owner was as excited about as I am. I'm normally a huge fiber snob and not a huge fan of anything that's not a natural fiber but I must admit faux cashmere has brought me over to the dark side. It spins up like a dream and is pretty brainless, it's fluffy and light but has a decently long staple length so it's easy to achieve a thinner yarn. I find it a bit harder to per-draft than merino or other wools so I normally end up breaking off small blobs of it and spinning thin from that which seems to work well. Yarn spun from faux cashmere has a nice subtle sheen and is fabulously soft and light weight. It also takes dyes well and the results are normally bright and cheerful. The best part is unlike real cashmere you wont have to take out a loan to get a decent amount to spin or knit with. In this video you will see some faux cashmere spinning action on my Spinolution King Bee ( Love) as well as a bit of rambling about the adventures of me and the little people and why I compulsively spin for relaxation. As normal feel free to hit me up with any questions or comments.
