New Yarn

I've had some bits and pieces(some very substantial) of various shades of brown fleeces already spun up and couldn't decide what to do with them. So, I came up with the idea to put all those pieces together to create a somewhat unique yarn. I had small spindles of babydoll and merino, then some alpaca, bond, cvm, rambo/romney and shetland. Here's what I did with it:





I made a 3 ply yarn and got 270 yds! It turned out much nicer than I anticipated.

  2. This yarn came out stunning! I just love the subtle color shifts. I don't have this kind of courage - you do, and it came out GREAT!
