It started out here and ended up being 530 yards of semi-4 ply. I made 2 ply and plied it back onto itself to get a thicker yarn.
It will grow up to be socks.
Btw, the seller is the same lady I got the green stuff from that grow up to be socks. While it's not your "normal" type colors, I do love what she does.
Now back to the plying of the Shetland.
Wish me luck!
Good luck!

Love how it turned out. Not quite as pastely as the singles, but still quite subtle. And, yes, good good luck!!!!

Ohhhh,,, swooon,,,, I think I am in love!
What a wonderful wonderful looking yarn. Please, please don't knit it into socks that will be hidden from daylight almost all the time. It wants to be a shawl, I tell you,,, I can heat it whisper to you: girl, girl,,, girl!!! I want to be a shawl pretty please.
Listen and you will hear it too! :)

It continually amazes me how differently batts look when they've been spun! So very pretty, in both cases but the one looks so bright and the other demure.

It reminds me of spring, and my wedding, as my colors were green and pink. Now I want to see spring in the Shetlands!
