Mine is: Finish twisting 70+ skeins. Label said skeins. Make chicken and avocado pasta for dinner.
That's it. I can't do anything else at this point.
That is many skeins. Is that wool? I am intrigued by your large number of skeins.
It is! It is a Merino, silk and yak fibre blend, and I am sending a good half of out in the post tomorrow to fulfil an order. It's so soft and nice to touch, it's just a lot to get through 😅
Sounds amazing. Do you dye/spin/blend it yourself, or are you just breaking down from a bigger batch?
I dye it myself. I buy it "bare" (undyed), and then mix up fun colours and go a bit nuts. It's all the fun of being a crazy scientist, with far less stress or risk of world domination.
That's great. Feel free to post skein pics at any time, I love to see that stuff, even if I can't touch it.
