Chameleon Colorworks Optim: Tahiti

Chameleon Colorworks Optim: Tahiti by elemmaciltur.
Started: 22nd April 2008
Finished: 05th May 2008
Yardage: approx. 412.5 m
WPI: 18 WPI (plied)
Fibre: "Tahiti", 4 oz/113 g merino optim from Chameleon Colorworks given to me by ClaudiaWarner
Wheel & Settings: Kromski Minstrel, spun worsted on 12:1 ratio in double-drive mode, navajo-plied on 16:1 ratio in double-drive mode.

This thing is really soft and the yarn has a great drape. However, I think that the plying compromised the shine of optim. I broke the singles a couple of time plying...but no big deal. It's thick and thin in some place, but not too bad. Overall it's pretty much lace-weight.
