Six Hands: The yarn is finished and heading to the next artisan










I finished spinning and plying late on Saturday, washed the yarn on Sunday and let it dry while watching the Steelers football game. I will not comment on the game except to say that I'm happy we won and that perhaps the NFL should insist on more extensive training for the officiating department--which is MUCH nicer language than I used during the actual game!

The yarn is firm due to the nice tight spin and ply, yet soft and supple due to the Merino/alpaca fibers. Just the right yarn for a long-wearing yet soft garment. The yarn is being forwarded to Dottie at http://www.ccdzs.blogspot.com/ Let's see what her creative mind and talented hands can do with this yarn.

I've posted the first scarf from this yarn and have completed a cowl and a capelet from it as well. Just need to get pics so I can post them. I loved working with this yarn. The capelet, I think, shows off the colors the best. Dottie

Go look at Dottie's scarf, it's incredible! I'm so happy I could be a part of this challenge and see what a skilled artisan can do with my yarn.
