NCS 2007 Guild Project

These are some photos from the North Country Spinners 2007 Guild Project. Everyone was given a small bag with 3/4 oz of four wools. Two natural and two dyed. Each member had to create something using only 2.5 oz of fiber. Mine are the self striped wristlets. I carded the four colors in stripes and rolled them off the cards into rolags. These were spun with each rolag starting with the gray roving. Each rolag was spun the same way then navajo plied resulting in a self striping yarn. The wristlets were knitted on size one needles (double points) from a pattern in Piecework Nov/Dec 2002 entitled Pretty Knitted Cuffs.
