Hi y'all. Here's a photo of a hank of handspun I finished on Monday.
It is a 3-ply yarn: two plies of space-dyed superwash merino, one ply
of black merino/silk for strength and to make the stuff go farther. I
ended up with just shy of 500yd of yarn, now I have to decide if I
want to make a skinny scarf and cap set or a pair of socks.

Maybe not. A friend dyed that for me as an Xmas present. There *is*
some purple in it but not much, and the yellow is a bit in-my-face.
Overall I'm please with it though, and it does me good to work outside
my comfort zone occasionally

Ooh, very nice!! I think I'd go with the scarf and cap; gotta show off
something that lovely.

Alternatively, if you can't decide, you could send it to me, and I
could make myself some socks. g

Higs,

Those colours are lovely together. I think I'd make a cap or scarf as
it would be noticed more than socks which might be covered up by
trousers. That wool should be on show as it looks so good.

Very nice. Great minds think alike: I just finished plying some
handpainted merino with some black alpaca for a similar dramatic
effect. Mine's a different colourway but still has a similar visual
punch.

Hugs & God bless,
