Experimenting with some dyed fleece. Some dyed with Landscape "fern" and it's after wash; some with the after wash from a deep red (kept in the garage in a zip lock bag for months) and some with after wash from a mossy green - which came out very light limey green. Making rolags and spinning these in sequence ten plying them so they randomly combine is a very pleasurable thing indeed. Even more so when knitted and you don't know what the mext row's colors will be. The combination is very summery - yet I want to knit it into socks as my feet are getting frozen during this very cold spell.
One small snag - don't know how to knit socks :(. --- so going to try Amy Swenson's toe-up short-row worksheet which was free on tehe net.
Don't know how I'll get on, but thank you my for furnishing this as I thik it's probably the only way I'll manage to get the size I want from the various yarn sizes I spinn.
Will have a bash at it tomorrow - hopefully.

I like the colour combination! The socks will be nice and warm. for midlands frosty weather.
You are right. They are roasting. I'm calling them hot socks :).
