I’ve been steadily plying yarn this week . Pictured above is the skein from the Romney rainbow batt, the Spunky Electic merino/angora in Juniper, and another skein of BFL/alpaca to add to the growing pile.

I ended up with about 700 yards of Falkland lace-weight from 4 ounces of roving. I think it’s time to try 3-ply sock yarn again soon!

Caution, will stain

I plied up the red yarn this week. It’s 20% nylon %80 superwash merino from MadColor. Unfortunately, this yarn really bleeds even after 2 washes in Synthrapol and a vinegar rinse as well. No color bled onto my hands as I worked with it so I think it’s safe to make a shawl or something wearable with it but I will have to remember to always wash it alone.
