Beautiful photos and yarn! Sorry I haven't any fleece for you, that you now have to use coffee filters! 😊

I love the look of the knitting. What will is be?

I have no idea! So far, an experiment in texture and knit-ability.

Love spinning paper. How do you connect the end of one piece of spun paper to the next piece to be spun?

Sarah

I tie them together in a square knot.
Glue might work, but haven’t tried it yet.
Not split plying though, that is for sure...

I totally love your sharing and love your inspiration, too fun spun coffee filters! What was in your kraut, beets and cabbage? Looks yummy❤️👍

Sarah

Just a big purple cabbage from our garden.
Beets would be a yummy addition though.

I would probably fold ends of coffee paper yarn over each other (like c's) the way I do with cotton or any yarn that can't be spit-spliced to join together. You'd have a thicker spot at joins, but I think they'd blend in when it's done.

Velma Bolyard

For Cindy and Sarah because the form isn't working for me: Traditionally in spinning kami-ito you overlap the two ends of paper, with maybe just the hint of mom's spit, and carefully let the spin run up and envelop the splice, sorta like other fiberarts.
