Sweet Dreams Sparkle
I have begun plying in earnest... the Jacob is going to take some time to complete, that's for sure! The first job I finished was the sparkly stuff combo. I had a lot more yardage of the glitz than I thought I did and surprised myself by using up about 2/3 of the South African singles! It turned into a lovely 3-ply sportweight and is a fairly consistent weight throughout. Contrary to my expectations, it appears I am actually improving as a spinner!! Woot!
70% naturally white South African top, 30% silky Glitz multi colored, Sport weight, 7 ounces (approx 200gm)
approx 340 yds. Of course the sparkle doesn't show up that well in the photos but you can sure see it in person! Another happy ending to a spinning experiment! Cheers!

I like it! And as always, when seeing a finished handspun the question arises, what are you going to do with it?

You are right, your spinning is improving all the time, and it was pretty durn good before!
Love that stuff, I CAN see the glitz on my monitor. Great idea plying with the white.

Yarn looks beautiful. I do not spin, but I sometimes wonder if I might be missing some fun and relaxing time!
