Scenes from a Fiber Life: Reskeining Freshly Cut Grass

After the skeins are dyed, we reskein them into smaller, more manageable skeins to go in the shop.  And we do it outside, if it’s a nice day…  in the dappled sunlight with a glass of chilled mimosa.  This was my Sunday.

Freshly Cut Grass on the swift

From the swift onto the skein winder

The swift moving at high speed

And the result is one of my favourite colourways, Freshly Cut Grass
