Three-ply!

Not dense enough for socks; possibly making a textured triangular shawlette out of it, but am interested in suggestions. :)

Complementary 3-ply 2

This is the one I started during the Tour de Fleece. I am a very, very slow spinner, although for me, this was finished in practically lightning speed. THREE bobbins, not just two, and fairly thin. Shetland top, finished weight/length 3.8 oz./622.64 yards.

I don't plug my shop much in the knitting blog, but I will point out that I did dye this one myself, in the "Complementary" colorway. There's a braid of "Bluebird" in the same fiber now, which is a fairly similar color. No gray, though. I do like that bit of gray in this, which turned out hardly gray at all once spun up. It's amazing what colors do during spinning.
