I need to get more of this fiber – I only had enough for a large long swatch, but I love the way it looks in stockinette stitch. Uneven stitches. Unexpected beauty.

  1. The handspun is so pretty! I never know what to do with the tiny skeins. I’ve had enough of the “one skein” patterns, too- they don’t seem worthy of handspun.

  2. Looks just beautiful. Can I touch it? 😉

  3. Gorgeous handspun. I got my first STR from Cara, but I haven’t knit with it yet. I guess I’m saving it =)

  4. beautiful job spinning and photographing the cashmere and silk – it looks so yummy.

  5. So beautiful, Brooke. Your photo depicts the yarn’s softness perfectly.

  6. The spinning and the knitted handspun is gorgeous. Your spinning skills are inspirational! I do hope you enjoy knitting the STR yarn, I think you will!

  7. Your handspun is so beautiful!
    Enjoy your prize!

  8. That Mongolian cashmere looks amazing! Just uneven enough to be perfectly perfect.

  11. Oh wow, must get some of that fibre! It looks wonderful. Must be a joy to spin and knit with.

  12. The yarn you spun looks fabulous – and I bet it is incredibly soft, too. I can’t seem to spin anything that finely.
