I plan to two-ply this and use it with the "Aubergine" camel/silk I completed during the Tour for a two-color project. I had a certain small shawl in mind but didn't look at the yardage requirements before I started spinning; now I think I'll have to choose a smaller project.I've also been trying out my new Jenkins Jay/Lark on a merino/Tencel sample:
This is about 1/3 of the sample; I think I'll spin the second third on my Aegean, and the last third on my Delight, then three-ply them with my tulipwood Swan. After this comparison, I may make a decision....This is the newest - and a new - dahlia variety to open:
Such a rich color!Night before last I took some photos of the moon using different settings on my camera. (Such experimentation would do me a lot more good if I took notes! Oh well.) I like the one below, because it shows the entire moon, not just the sliver reflecting the sun's light (click to biggify and see it better). I think this was shot on the "night scenery" setting.
That's it for today from . . .

Your spinning is fabulous. I think my wheel spinning didn't really improve until I learned to use the drop spindle.
Beautiful images. I love the color of the dahlia. Do you ever grow the "dinner plate" dahlias? Have a great day!
Beautiful dahlia! And spinning and moon :-).
It's a Purple Day! Looking forward to seeing the yarn you come up with from those purple singles. Beautiful blueberries too - Don't you just wish you had a huge walk in firdge so you could have done those berries the next morning :-) T.
I don't know which is prettier, the fiber, or the spindles you are spinning it on!
Thanks for the gorgeous purples. Just the kind of color inspiration that I need right now :)
