project 355 test

Why the 355?  I've been asked this several times.  I get it, most of you are expecting a 365.  Things in my world don't work like that.  I wanted a monumental commitment this year and I made it.  It just took me 10 days to decide.  I've been spinning like a wee beastie ever since.  Enjoy the yarns!

BFL, silk, bamboo, merino, angelina, shetland.
This blend of all but the kitchen sink carded had me spinning for those few moments when, in the ply, the perfect combination of colours crossed each other.  The two ply wasn't terribly exciting, but the search for the moments of lovely colour made it a worthwhile quest.  This is spun specifically for a simple weaving project.

I have been fascinated with 3 plies lately and how to make them sing. Harmonizing colours in a bouncy round yarn is really accomplishing this for me.
