Please, sir, can I have some more?
More of this, that is...
This is a 50/50 blend of merino and tencel dyed by Chasing Rainbows Dyeworks in the Arroyo colorway. Two ounces to play with, so smooth and easy to spin. I don't have a picture of the finished yarn; as soon as it was plyed (two-ply) and blocked I gave it away in a spinning-related auction package I put together for a non-profit that I am involved with. I forgot to take a picture first (sigh). In retrospect, I should have left this as a singles yarn; the 2-ply muted the colors quite a bit. The color changes in the singles were so subtle and lovely, and the tencel gave the yarn a luminous sheen. After plying, the sage green color became the predominant color and kind of overpowered the other colors. This surprised me a little, as I thought the turquoise would have brightened it up more, but the effects achieved in a two-ply never fail to surprise me. The finished 2 ounce skein ended up DK weight (I think, I also forgot to check wpi before giving it away), and approximately 97 yards.
I really want to spin this stuff again, the different Chasing Rainbow colorways are stunning. Figuring out which colorways and fibers to choose will be the hard part -- I want to try them all!
