Plying Brings Me One Step Closer to Knitting

I just finished plying the first skein of the red Shetland roving for the Floral Vest. I chose a simple worsted 2 ply .



I think the color is even more striking in its final form, the heathery tones just glow.

Knitting the vest is going to be pure bliss!

It is gorgeous. But I miss your yarn offerings. Have you left that business? I always loved your work ... watched avidly for your Sunday colors and purchased from time to time. Have you given that up??

Hi,

Thanks for your lovely comment. I am not dyeing yarn at the moment...I have not given it up though...Let's just say that I am on an extended leave.
