I pulled out some more fibre I got through a friend’s destash as I loved the colourway. I was originally planning to spin it up for the shop but soon realized that the braid was slightly felted. The colourway is Pansi and I really love the colours:
I figured I had nothing to lose in spinning it up and trying some colour experiments with the fibre. I split the braid into six pieces lengthwise and predrafted them to help loosen up the fibres before putting them on the wheel.
I decided to navajo ply the singles to give me short repeats of colours. My idea was to turn this yarn into socks and I wanted to see what kind of striping the short repeats would give me.
I really like how the colours turned out. Coincidentally, the May theme for Sock-a-month 7 is Flowers, so my Pansi yarn will fit in just nicely… as long as I can get them knit up before the end of the month. This yarn also falls nicely into the May-June colour theme of yellow for Project Spectrum.
