TdF23, S19 – 1-ply wonder!

The black+yellow=green has felted enough to stay a single. Yippee! Even better, it measures 382.6m/418.4yds according to my EEW yarn counter, so it’s a laceweight!

Yesterday, once the B+Y=G was off the spinning wheel, I started another Tub of Joy. This one is mainly bleurgh – sorry, blue – with yellow, orange and purple. I broke off hand-sized chunks to spin, then separated half the chunks into mostly blue, mostly yellow and orange, and mostly purple. I then alternated between whole chunks and separated chunks when spinning. I did have some kind of a plan for spinning the separated chunks in order of yellow/orange, then purple, then blue, but I may have forgotten the order a few times. But the result reminds me of the beach at Rossnowlagh!

I think I’m going to full this as a single, too, and I might design a wee shawl with it. I suspect the meterage is going to be greater than B+Y=G as I was playing bobbin-chicken towards the end.

Allons-y!
