Cantaloupe

The first bobbin is done and the second is almost done. Should be done tonight and ready to ply tomorrow. I think the colors are looking nice and it should make an interesting 2 ply.

Just when I think I am getting good at photographing my work I pull a total "DUH" moment. I dyed yarn for my swap pal in the Dye-O-Rama swap and I think it turned out pretty nice even though the colors were a personal stretch. Then what do I do....package it up, ship it out and no photo. Here is all I have left as I pinched 10 yards of it to swatch it and see how it looked.

It turned out pretty nice even though I would of liked a few less light spots but that is why I dye roving not yarn. The light spots seem to stand out more in the photo than the actual swatch. I was going for the Koigu look rather than striping. The warping board sounded like too much work. Hopefully they like it. I sent a few other goodies too and it should all be there by Saturday at the latest.
