Now this is pretty.

It's also incredibly soft.
This is the Merino top from the last post, now plyed and ready for a bath.
I handdyed this with acid dyes but unfortunately I started spinning before I took photo's of it curled up looking nice.

Here it is plyed on the bobbin. Simple 2 ply from a centre pull ball to use every inch.



I then wound it off with the ball winder to make it easier for me to skein.



Here it is looking pretty in a skein.



The colours are beautiful.
A mix of green and pink with a blue which seems pretty constant throughout.

This is measuring 270 yards.
