It's funny, as I was plying the singles for this yarn in the low light of my family room, I was unimpressed with the color. In the fresh light of day, however, I like the colors much more. The color is very subtle. The overall look is a washed out gray, but up close, the variety of colors that make up the gray are quite interesting.

This is the first time plying on my new wheel and it's a long way from perfect. I've got to get a tensioned lazy Kate to ply from as I'm sure that my current solution is part of the problem. I also let the single plys sit for months. Excuses, excuses, huh? I'm not really complaining, I'm just learning lessons from my own mistakes!
I bought this fiber from a sheep and wool festival that I went to this summer. The wool is from Persimmon Tree Farm. They don't have any pictures on their site that accurately portray the beauty of their fibers and yarns. They had a variety of yarns already spun up that were gorgeous.

This wool/mohair was very dirty! While spinning the single ply, all kinds of detritous was falling out of the fiber. I had to pick quite a bit of stuff out as well. While plying, more junk dropped out, but I think that by the time I wash and rewind the yarn it should be mostly clean!

I think that this yarn is destined to be a pair of cuddly mittens or gloves.

Ok. The cat is out of the bag. I very impulsively purchased a Majacraft Suzie at the same fiber festival where I bought this yarn. I love it.
