Northern Lights Handspun








I have a fancy to do a much darker weaving so I have been spinning these with the theme of the northern lights while we have had so much lovely sunshine. They are a mix of everything, wool, silk, bamboo, rose.. I could go on! 

It's a mix of black/midnight blue, through bright purples and eventually getting to proper acid green. I think I might try some sort of clasped weft effect. The plan for the final weaving is putting it on the wall rather than a garment so I don't need to worry too much about how practical or 'correct' it is - I'm just going to go for what I feel.
