My mantra at Rhinebeck 2011 was "Step out of your comfort zone." I resisted all the colors I usually reach for like greens, browns and teals. I found this pink, gray and black colorway from Creatively Dyed fiber in South Carolina. Two years ago I had got some fiber from this vendor in a beautiful carmel colorway. As I began to spin it up, I saw that it also had some deep dark blue in it also. After navajo plying, I ended up with 142 yards of yarn. I think it's a heavy fingering/sport weight. I haven't measured the WPI. I had meant to two ply it using the andean method, but I was impatient. I think I can get a nice scarf or fingerless mitts out of this that will compliment my purple coat.
