Summertime

I am almost done with the Cafe Au Lait yarn. The singles are spun and I plan to ply it up tonight. It should look nice. One bobbin is slightly darker throughout so it should make for interesting color play. We shall see.

Since I am almost done with that I decided to do some dyeing yesterday. I did 4oz or so of merino roving and I am calling it summertime. It will be fun to see how it works out. I have not decided how to spin it yet. I am thinking of splitting it down the middle and doing a 2 ply or I could do a single but I like plied yarn so much better.

I think it will be bright enough on its own that beads or anything else would be a waste of time. But I have these pearl beads that I think mixed with this might make a very summer, beachy yarn. Guess I will see after I spin up a single.

I forgot to say that my dye swap pal loved my yarn. It was so nice to see all the nice things Paul said about it and I can not wait to see what he makes with it. You can visit Paul here. Now I just wait patiently for my pal to send mine. They have been in touch a few times but is not ready to send it out yet. Wait, Wait, Wait.

That looks like some seriously yummy roving. Nice dye job!
