Here's the new stuff on the wheel - Autumn Walk Superwash Panda (60% Merino/30% Bamboo/10% Nylon). It's very November-ish and spins up like a dream. This is actually my first superwash fiber, and I'm really enjoying it. It's soft and puffy, but very easy to spin. I'm making a 3-ply for some socks.
And here's the green I finished last week, Enchanted Forest :
I love it. Even though, like a dolt, I started plying the wrong way. Meaning, I started to ply it together the same direction I spun the singles in. You can see a few strands there that don't have much twist. That's where I realized what I was doing, yanked it off the wheel, and went the other way with it. I figured it would be underplied at the beginning, and sure enough. The first few yards aren't exactly plied.
Even at that, I'm enchanted by the Enchanted Forest :)
It's 366 yards of sport-to-fingering weight Merino/Silk. Yum!
Oooooo pretty!!!! Both of them. I can't wait to get my wheel stained next week then put together. I can't wait to spin the lovelies I got from you!!!
