I attempted a pattern from a recent "Spin Off" magazine, using some handspun yarn I made over the Summer, using a drop-spindle.
Cardboard Princess Leia was an excellent model (yet again!)


Yarn is merino (dyed pink in a dyebath left over from a darker pink project) plied with silk / alpaca.
Turned out larger than in the instructions, but still fits around the neck and will keep the wearer warm (which are the main things!).










Thanks for looking!

Lovely! You must have tons of patience to spin that much yarn on a drop spindle! =)
