Spinning Experiment

At Convergence I bought all of Lisa's Petroglyph BFL fiber but it isn't enough for a cardi which is what I thought I might like to make with it.

I decided I should take this as an opportunity to expand my horizons and experiment a little. I decided I would double my yardage if I plyed it with a solid and it would make the color changes more subtle. The only solids I had are carded fiber and the BFL was a combed fiber. Would the two preps work?

Whenever I have a problem I pose a question to my friends at FT and I get answers! Joanne suggested I make a sample. I did I made a sample of the bfl by itself, with targhee(cream colored), and with dark shetland/icelandic. I really liked the shetland color with the petroglyph and felt that it worked fiberwise too. So I went for it. These are the results. Vicki later told me that Satakeili(sp?) from schoolhouse press is a yarn that is one ply combed fiber on carded. Cool huhn!

I love it:-) Now I have to spin the rest consistently!
