This green sat on one of my bobbins for over a week. I was so disappointed, I thought I had lost all of the purple, that it had blended right in with the green. To my surprise once I got it into a skien & gave it a bath, that purple showed up! I've got a nice green yarn with purple tweedy bits all through it. And it's super soft, a combo of targhee merino, faux angora & a little sparkle.
Fiber purchased from Beth at Blue Mountain Handcrafts.
Turned into these batts...
And then I ended up with 298 yards of 13 WPI, squishy soft yarn.
Next I have some yarn spun from my Blue Sky batts. These were a lot of fun to spin & I like the finished yarn. The faux angora gave it a nice fuzz. :)
This fiber...
Became these pretty batts...
Which became 263 yards of 15 WPI yarn.
