12 Days of Christmas 2019 Part 2

Back in October I wrote about the 12 Days of Christmas "Advent Calendar" for 2019.  All packages have now been opened and I've had chance to take photos and do some fancy work with them to add the names of the colours of the fibre to them.

As last year, I have organised them in the same way, the main braid is in the large photo and then each day thereafter starts with the small photo on the top right hand side, working down and then across the bottom towards the left.

Just in case you can't read the labels, they are in order: Lily of the Valley, Honey, Pearl, English Countryside, Shabby Grey, Hydrangea, Currant, Cocoa, Blossom, Nougat and Night.


The spinning tip for the main braid would be the same as last year due to the Yak fibres and that is to spin it over the fold as the Yak fibres are shorter than the rest and this avoids ending up with just a clump of Yak fibres in your hand.


I will probably spin them all separately and create something that involves all of the finished yarn in all of the colours.
