Friday Fluff: Fig Garden

 

How it started.



How it ended. The superwash Merino/Tencel blend is spun. I'm not sure I did justice to the braid. I wanted a 2 ply so I'd get more yardage and doing that means the colors don't stay together as nicely as they would if I had chain plied it but it is what it is now and I'm thinking Croc Sox. In the future. 




In other fluff news, the Pi Shawl is nearing its end. It's very possible that it might be done by next Friday. Won't that be nice.

    As someone with a fig tree, may I say that that colorway is entirely on point.

    You spun Fig Garden into a nice tonal yarn. I wish you all the best with the Pi Shawl; may she be completed successfully soon!

    I think the yarn is lovely! I like the colours mixed up like that. Pi is also looking great. Looks so cozy

    The new fiber to yarn is very pretty!!! The shawl will be a good project in the finished and ready to wear pile!

    Oooh, those colors of the spun blend is gorgeous. I love it and it looks perfect. The Pi shawl is looking good too. Lots of tiny stitches.
    Blessings and hugs,

    Finishing a Pi shawl is a big accomplishment. That is a lot of knitting. The handspun looks lovely. As a rather new spinner, I am ready to learn how to make a 3 ply.
