Melon

My melon yarn is done. It turned out about like I thought it would. The colors are fairly muted and it really doesn't look anything like Kool Aid dyed roving. Not even a fruity smell to give it away.

It turned out to be about 271 yards so maybe short socks or maybe not socks at all. Maybe a lacy scarf or fingerless gloves as the last ones I made where kind of too bulky in the yarn selection. Not that I will be using either of those things any time soon as it is 85 degrees here today but small project are more my style when it is hot.

I am rather mad at myself today though because I was going to have some new roving dyed up so I could start spinning it tonight but I never got around to it so now I guess I will hunt through the stash to see what I have. Maybe I will whip out the drum carder instead as I need to start on my exchange yarn and my pal like naturals. Interesting how both of my latest swap people have liked something so opposite from me. Guess that is what makes it fun.
