Tweedy swatch

I’m not feeling very inventive with post titles this week.

So, I spun the batt yesterday and plied it, and washed it, and today, I knit some of it.

I’m not in love with the colors, but I was working with what I had, I didn’t dye the silk. But I’m happy with the overall product. I like the feel of it. I like the drape it has, I like the effect of the blended fibers. I think I want to see more of the wool in there, so I’ve blended another batt with half the silk that the last one had. We’ll see how that one turns out.
