Stunning!
That’s Ravenswood, right? Mind if I give the photo to Cloverhill Yarns to post for their Sheep and Wool booth, which will be carrying my stuff?

I love the dark blue that shoots through the browns. What a wonderful use of color!

WOW…the brown skein is so amazing. Any project knit with it will be great too. I really admire your spinning talent and ability to play around with colours!

Wow! It’s lovely. I would have picked to spin it just like you described. I love how the color varies through out the skein. You
usually only see that in handspun yarn.

Very nice job!

Navajo plying would probably have given you longer runs of color and given the finished yarn more of a space dyed effect rather than a marled one.

That being said, I wouldn’t change your result for the world! I like the marled yarn with the pop of blue.
