Another beginner video, this one is my second ever corespun yarn. I discovered that the camera has a time limit on video's too; about 12 minutes, or 4 gig.
The finished yarn is quite pretty and I will be doing more; I want to get better at it.

| merino and silk corespun onto unknown 3-ply |
I also did some thick'n'thin plied with probably rayon from stash
 |
| Heavenly Wools batt of merino and sparkles |
and I did the rest of the first skein of long draw alpaca
 |
| You've already seen the one on the left, the one on the right is the alpaca |
I've finished the first travel sock, but no pic sorry. I've got the bodice of my 1810's gown ready to insert the sleeves and I got sidetracked by a flooded bathroom and the double glazing.
And I've got my shawl to the end of chart 2
 |
| There's a long way to go; next row doubles my stitches; then a lifeline and another 71 extra long rows before the border. |
I've decided I will be casting on something new, maybe 2 somethings. I want to make a garter cowl with the thick'n'thin I showed you earlier and I have the yarn for a Strokkur and the need for another warm woolly jersey before winter hits.

Would it work to use two streams of something a bit overtwisted in the core, and spin them backwards a bit? I guess that would effectively be doing some plying for the core - no idea how many hands that would require, or even if it would work!
Love your art yarns and videos. I think your cores spun yarn photo shows a really pretty yarn.
