Although it may appear as though progress is slow on this, it's because I'm also doing other things that I just can't talk about yet. (come to think of it, I'm always working on too many things at once to show appreciable progress on any given thing over a week, so nothing different.)I'm almost done plying the first 8oz. I think I'll have about 350 yds. , which means I may need around 30 oz to do the whole sweater which sounds rather heavy to me, but there you go. I had it in my head a worsted wt. sweater for myself would weigh 24 oz for some reason. No good reason I can think of at the moment, but anyway. I guess the extra wool is due to it being 3 ply? And I'm probably a wee bit tight on my singles, though my plying is looser. Always my problem. I have a fear of skinny singles breaking apart otherwise.
I am still a bit on the fence about the peach bits in the colour, although it is growing on me. What I do love is the wonderful sproinginess of the finished yarn. It will be super fun to knit up.
To those of you who celebrate it, Happy Hanukkah! Have a great weekend.
this is stunning! (i just want to squeeze that ball of yarn!) and i think the peach creates a nice sense of depth, without making this seem more multi-colored than i think you want it to be, if that makes sense. is this CMF fiber?
ReplyDeleteI like the peachy bits in it -- and it's going to make one gorgeous tea leaves cardigan!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors! I'm very impressed with your work. Great job!
