Heathered Purple Passion
How pleased I am with this yarn!! I really didn't know quite what to expect, since this was my first attempt at spinning woolen. What's more the fiber itself was somewhat similar in structure to dryer lint (there, I've said it! LOL!!) only softer and more fiber-y. Even after I Navajo plied it I was rather undecided. Then I soaked it in hot water to set the twist and dried it - then - it happened. It dried into a soft fluffy 3 ply - like magic! Hot off the wheel it was a fairly firm DK weight yarn but after setting and drying it puffed into a soft fluffy chunky - absolutely the best outcome I could have wished!
Stats: Merino/Coopworth/asst wool blend, 7-8 wraps per inch, 270+ yds, 6 1/2 oz (185 gm) chunky weight 3-ply.
This fiber had lots of tiny bright pink & purple neps. I think the pink/grey is a nice balance to the purple. It will knit into a striped fabric. So plush!
