Other Obsessions: Superwash BFL by Squoosh Fiberarts

This is what I'm spinning right now:

I first heard of Squoosh Fiberarts as a sample knitter 4~5 years ago. I was working for an independent knitwear designer whose design used these beautiful yarns from Squoosh, and at that point in my knitting life, I had already graduated from using yarns from Michaels or other big box stores to using more quality yarns from smaller manufacturers, but I hadn't worked with any indie dyers' yarns. Squoosh was definitely my first.

When I first started spinning on spinning wheels, I started collecting handdyed fibers from various indie dyers, but Squoosh was always in my stash. I even joined their Yarn Club so that I could get their gorgeous yarns every month. :) 

The fiber I'm working with is Squoosh's Superwash BFL (4 oz) in "2025" colorway. It has a bit of orange-red, dark brown, dark blue-gray, and light blue, and then spots of undyed natural fiber. This has been sitting in my stash for a while because I wanted to save it for when I felt more confident with my spinning.

This is going to be sock yarn, so I'm spinning this pretty fine, and in whole, just starting at the top of the fiber to the end; no dividing to play with the color sequence or anything. And will be plied in chain plying technique, since that's what I am most comfortable with in terms of controlling the twists.

Spin-ability: The fiber is very soft, and dyed really well so that it's not at all matted, pilled, felted, or damaged in any other way. It spins like butter. I just pull a little bit out with no resistance, and it consistently spins at the same drafting speed.

Color repeats: I pre-draft a little bit just to blend the transition between the colors, and they're just gorgeous. I especially like the dark blue gray color. 

Conclusion: I cannot wait to ply this up! I'm halfway done with spinning the fiber, just under 2oz left to go.
