I have a new obsession!! Corespinning!
Sorry about the pic :(, I'll take better photos when I'm done with the yarn.
This corespun is spun out of a "Blizzard of '77" batt I made. It includes merino, falkland, bamboo, firestar, faux cashmere and tinsel.
My obsession came from Pluckyfluff's video on how to make a coil boil (I can't link directly to it, but the link is on this Spin Artiste page). OMG, I'm in L-O-V-E with coil boils! They are made by first spinning a corespun yarn (Pluckyfluff spun a coreless corespun), then coiling that corespun onto another core yarn. After that, the last step is to navajo ply. The resulting yarn is a super thick, dense yarn which is more like a rope! It is awesome!
Have you ever spun art yarn? If so, are you completely addicted?!
