Corespun images

Hi Christine, 
You are obviously on the right track when you are creating your corespun yarns, and your colours are lovely.  When I make this yarn, I find it helps to have the fibre very open and lofty, so working from hand carded or drum carded batt helps.  Using a commercially combed mohair or unevenly prepared carded batts will make even coverage and diameter control more difficult.  As always, practice, practice, practice, relax and laugh!  Well done and thank you for letting us see what you've been doing.
