Spin A Yarn for Ewe

I plied the merino tencel yarn last night and all I can say is that it is very luscious. The colors are muted and the feel of the yarn is incredible. It is so slinky feeling and beyond soft.

This is a really hard fiber to photograph well. It has tons of natural shine and luster kind of like silk. Here it is up close.


I am currently dyeing my next roving, soon to be yarn. I meant it to match some beads I bought today but it is nor even close to them. The good news is it goes great with some beads I have in stash. The roving to match the new beads will have to wait. I also bought the beads for the sweater and will probably swatch with them to be sure they are the "ones."
