Spinning Saturday: Evergreens 3ply

It is finished! :)

Evergreens 3ply

This was originally part of the Wildcraft Fibre Club January 2011 club shipment, entitled ‘Evergreens’ which was dyed on white Shetland. I get a double dose (200g), and then I had Karen do me up an additional 400g. I was determined to have a cardi out of it.

Here is the original fibre:

And the subsequent batts:

My 3ply yarn worked out to a total of 1490m as a DK weight and is destined to be a cardigan. I’m currently thinking of Hannah Fettig’s Spring Ribbed Cardi. I’m delighted it is done, and I’m looking forward to actually knitting with it. How I love Shetland.

Now to see what else I can clear off the bobbins before the year’s end. :)

It looks as good as I thought it would! Can’t wait to see how it knits up :)
