I plan to ply this with some silk thread I have had for 1,000 years, then chain ply the remainder.
There might be beads, too.

You’re really good.
Thanks!
OH man, you had me at Beads!!
Lol wait until you see it!
I don’t know what all of those spinning terms are, but what you have there is already beautiful. And beads!!! I can’t wait to see. You are so talented!
Lol sorry for the strange language, but glad you like the yarn!
You always have great yarns and wool. Have already seen this yarn all spun up with beads, too! Lovely!
That’s gorgeous! Beads and silk will push this over to stunning:)
Thanks! I thinks so too.
Really pretty spin you did there. The silk sound like a beautiful addition.
Thank you!
1000 year old silk? A true antique! 😂 Will you put beads onto the yarn itself or add as you knit?
I put the beads on the silk before plying, so they are in the yarn. I’ll share photos today.
Already looking very pretty. But adding silk and beads – Eeeep! 🙂
Thank you!
