I only uploaded this to YouTube due to time constraints.  Enjoy!

Have you been sitting on pins and needles waiting for me to finish my #crushthesack auction spin for Sillyfru!  Wait no longer!  To enter the auction, start your bidding in the comments for this post.  Bidding will officially close October 15 at 12 noon eastern time, at which time I will email the winner with a paypal invoice and request a mailing address.

Here are the details….

I felt inspired by this beautiful braid of fiber, “Firefuly” colorway by Becoming Art on superwash merino.  It’s rainbow-licious, just like Fru likes.

I spun it while podcasting, I spun it while worrying over her, and I chain plied it during the final days of her treatment and during the watchful waiting for her WBC’s to come back up.

And now, I offer it up to you – for a price!  This is my first skein of handspun I am letting leave my possession, and I am pretty certain it is worthy.  It was a beautiful fiber, a beautiful spin, and oh!  what it could be crafted into!

I am hoping to raise a fair amount of funds with this skein of handspun yarn – all of it to go to Wendy to help offset whatever cost of treatment insurance doesn’t pick up.

Wanna see the yarn?

It’s 270+ yards of a sport-dk weight.

And here’s a good representation of the wraps per inch.

Happy Bidding, and thank you SO MUCH in advance, lucky winner!

(please note, this fiber and subsequent yarn has lived in a pet-friendly, non-smoking yarn.  I may have had a little help spinning from the kitty.)
