I finished this up a few weeks ago now but am only just getting around to posting the details. This is the core spun yarn I made from the Fellview Fibres 2020 12 Days of Christmas calendar.
The fibre is Elegance and is a BFL and silk blend. I feel a little bit guilty for using such a lovely blend in an art yarn but I have a lot of gradient yarns (mostly because I love Fellview Fibres so much) so I wanted to try something different with this one. It has a lace weight cotton core yarn which made a good grippy base for the wrapping, and I plied it with a gold thread. I finished it by washing in alternating hot and cold baths to felt it slightly.
Wheel: Matchless
Ratio: 4:1
Length: 116m
Weight: 129g
I’ve played around with core spinning before but this is my first full yarn. I have no idea what I will do with it yet, I might use it in a weaving project, maybe alongside another batch of the gradient spun as a chain ply. That’s what I did with the other half of the 12 Days of Christmas set and it made a beautiful yarn:

Core spinning is on my list to try one day. I love the gold bits you can see through the squishy yarn. The green yarn is really beautiful

It took a while for me to get used to the idea I wasn’t creating a smooth, consistent yarn. The technique was quite easy to pick up but I really hold on to the core yarn very tightly so my hands ending up aching after each session.

I love how the gold thread pops through and really shines. And I love the smooth gorgeousness that is the second (green) skein you showed too!
