Notes

This project is part of the SAL/KAL in our Greenwood Fiberworks Ravelry group. This is my first time spinning on my new Hansen espinner.

I wanted the colors to have a watercolor effect, so I carded the 4-ounce braid into 4 1-ounce batts on a drumcarder. The resulting singles have a wonderful texture from the batt.

11/29/13 Finished plying. On the niddy noddy there is about 475 yards. Will measure again after wet finishing. The skein is headed for a bath of hot soapy water.

The pattern was fairly straight forward. I did not see the need to increase the needle size for the bind-off as it was loose enough already.

I gave this to my mother for Christmas and she loved it.
