Funky Carolina superwash merino - Missed

119g / 350ish yards. This photo is very color accurate.

My first Navajo plying! It's not perfect by any means, but I'm head over heels for this little skein!

It ended up being fingering weight-ish (!). No wonder it took an epic amount of time to spin.

The original fiber.

Great work! It's so pretty. I still haven't worked up the nerve to try Navajo plying.

It's amazing!! Your first navajo ply looks about 9 million percent better than my first 5. ;)

Well, I did a couple of small test skeins, and they turned out like rope. I actually underplied this thing the first time and had to run it back through to add more twist...
