And here we have the entries for the entire Pink Cloud event! The latest items are shown first.
Debbie's 'Age of Brass and Steam' shawlette is her first ever self-knitted item from her own handspun. She used Merino in Nightfall for this lovely piece.
Jodi's Rainbow Merino ws fractal spun and plied on her double drive wheel - it's possibly destined to be woven in the future.
This Merino Inky Mix gradient was spun by Kate. She's going to Navajo ply to preserve the gradient.
Leanne has also made an 'Age of Brass and Steam' shawlette in merino - this one is in Dilly Dilly.
Melanie's sorted the shades in her nightfall into an 'almost' gradient, 'from darkest night to sunset".
Wendy B's Summer Beach over Light Grey Haunui NZ Halfbred has a future as part of a multi-yarn shawl.
And Wendy S Has also spun a bunch of Nightfall - this is 200gr. The two large skein are 2-ply, and the 'leftovers' were chain-plied.
And a last entry from Laura K, who just got her braid of Plimsoll Line on Merino in time to start spinning it!
Narissa used her Rainbow for dreads: "here are the four dreads I have felted over with Heavenly Wool's rainbow roving. It was really nice wool to work with and I'm very pleased how it turned out."
Ken's been in the kitchen again, producing this sizzlin' panful of yarh: "Summer Beach over natural charcoal. And it was a fun, fast spin to sample before ordering enough for a sweater!"
And Leanne has entered her yarn: "100g each of Dragons Breath and Slate, spun separately and plied together. Total of appx 700 metres of sport weight. Destined to be Clockwork by Westknits as a gift for my Dad."
Annette's bought her Dilly Dilly Long colour change merino at the Creative Fibre Festival in Dunedin. She's called it "Blueberries"
200gr of Dark Grey Halfbred was spun into this impressive 442 yd 2-ply skein by Elaine.

Fallen Leaves on Merino from Kathy; it's going to be "Lifecycle" from Botanical Knits 2.
Another beautiful scarf from May-Liss; this is Trillian. May-Liss separated the colours in a braid of Orchard long repeat over Light Grey Haunui NZ Halfbred. She's spun the third colour into a finer yarn and gifted it to a friend.
Suzanne's daughter Eleanor models her Barrier Reef fine merino and silk nuno-felt scarf.
A plump skein from Leanne fits the bill for her entry this month - Dragon's Breath and Slate on merino.

Shelly sent me this pic of her Lake Sumner 2-ply.

This small skein will be a transition between the other two skeins.
