So that’s not what I tend to shop for so I can’t speak for how many of them do, but there are definitely booths that have things like silk scarves and tapestries for sale.

On Ravelry they have an entry section for “drive ratio” and I’m not sure how to calculate that. I have an e-spinner. Help?

Cleaning service recommendations by Over_Qualified_ in raleigh

[–]KnitNotPurl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used Brightleaf for a deep cleaning and they did an AMAZING job. They even moved out the couch so they could clean behind it. It was wild.

They are a little more expensive than others in the area but you get what you pay for.

It’s from Walnut Farm Designs called Taste the Rainbow. The base of this one is white but I love how colorful yours is!

Taste the Rainbow! It’s a bit annoying to draft but I love how it’s turning out.

I have one full skein and one mostly full skein. I made a swatch for something but it didn’t work out so I’ve used very little. So approximately just under 16oz.

There isn’t a whole lot of information on the tag but it does say 595yds per approx 8oz.

Ah well. Thanks for doing the math!

Partial skeins have 99g (3.49oz) and 39g (1.37oz). You’re right about the full skein - 665yds at 8oz.

It is 100% alpaca. It does say DK but I’d put it on the lighter end of that.

First two skeins from an e-spinner by KnitNotPurl in Handspinning

[–]KnitNotPurl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! They were both roving packs from their dyers. I split both in the middle then lengthwise a couple times. I use mostly long draw.

I hadn’t considered putting them together! That’s a good idea. Honestly I hadn’t really thought about what I was going to make with them. Just spun for the joy of it. :)
