Here are a few photos of the yarn I mentioned in my last post on the blog- this was the most fun I have had in plying0 I used a black feathers ( Moda Vera's flutter) yarn to ply one and a black 'ostrich' yarn for the other part. The base singles that I made was from some of Mandie's solid colour rovings ( rockmelon, old gold, and PURPLE!) along with some other I had to make a Bird of Paradise ( flower) inspired yarn. :)
I didn't intend to ply with such a bold black but that is how it worked out.
This was really fun to make. Two ply- spun on my Turkish Spindle.
*addendum*- I found the picture of the singles just off the spindle-so thought I'd put it here.
Other photos of the yarns can be found on my blog too- I try to vary the photos I put up on the blogs.

Sharon, this is stunning. Do you have plans for it yet? Well done.
*blushing*
Thanks very much for your kind words. They made me smile. :)
I don't have anything planned for it yet but it is/they are soooooo soft- I am tempted to make a simple scarf and let the yarn to all the 'talking'- you know?
Of course a fun fuzzy hat is calling loudly too- but I am not sure I have enough and wouldn't want to frog this yarn in crochet stitches.
Any suggestions would be appreciated for other ideas. :)
This is cute Sharon! Love the vibrant blue!
