boo-ya boho art yarn

I won this awesome skein of yarn in one of PhatFiber's giveaways. It is a Boo-ya Boho Art Yarn by Woodland Hills Alpacas. I love all the red feathers spun in! Any ideas what I should with this?

handspun doily dream catcher

Sometimes handspun yarn just isn't meant to be knitted or crocheted up. I had a basket full of leftover bits of my handspun yarn that wasn't enough to knit or crochet but was too pretty to throw away. I have seen a few doily dream catchers around and thought it would be perfect to use the leftovers on! I spun 21 yards of very thin gray singles and crocheted a small doily and attached it to an embroidery hoop. I wrapped the black yarn around - that helps the gray yarn stay in place and gives it a good finish look. I then tied long strips of bulky yarn to the bottom and attached 2 little gold-dipped feathers to the yarn. It turned out so much prettier than I imagined in my head!

I have been following Michelle Snowdon aka Wooldancer on instagram for a few months now and everytime she posts a new picture of her yarns I just can't help but admire them! She makes the most gorgeous art yarns and she just posted a beautiful short video of her spinning drum roll rolags.

A while back I did a swap with Olga of Wassupbrothers. I made her this hat. Doesn't she look lovely in it? I hope it keeps her warm this winter!
