Spun! Oh….oh…..oh…..

Really. I’m not kidding.

You want to touch this, don’t you?

Go ahead. Click on it and take a closer look.

Yeah, I thought so.

This started out as 8 ounces of Polwarth, cashmere and silk from Southern Cross Fibre in the colorway Red Rock Haze:

Now. I knew this fiber blend would beg me to spin fine, but I didn’t want to go too fine. Fingering weight or light fingering weight.

Here’s everything. Two skeins of 440 yards each (2ply) plus a wee little baby skein of the n-plied leftovers.

I’m serious. You want to touch this. If you ever get the chance to spin this blend–and if you’re a fan of luxury fibers–DO EEEET!

I promise you won’t regret it.
