Remember this?
It arrive in my world on Oct, 28, 2009. Yeah, think about that for a minute. Our Joan turned it into beatiful batts for me because I knew that that colorway would be better for me if it was blended. After 18+ months of nagging, she also made and sent me more batts from the two braids of the same colorway/fiber that she had.
1220 yards of 3 ply and 97 yards of 2 ply leftovers from 12 oz of 80% merino 20% silk fiber. It had to be 3 ply because the fiber I sent her was naturally a different dye lot than the two braids she had. I love what those batts turned into.
Now I need to find a pattern for it...
You make me so proud!!! It is truly beautiful! You blogged about it!!!

My brain just exploded. How can I learn to look at picture one and guess that spinning will turn it into picture two? How do you DO that?!
(Yes, it is beautiful!)

Whoa, powers of blending! Would never have thought that color out of such bright Pinks!

I love what it has become. I do not love that seeing that transformation makes me think I need a drum carder ;)
The yarn is gorgeous and your yardage is fabulous! xoxoxo

A sweater!!!! Do you have a sweater you made that you love? Do it again.
Or a colorwork thing. :D That should be our challenge for the new year. I need to do more colorwork and need motivation.
