FO Friday: Under the Sea






 I finished my Under the Sea yarn late last night and it was a very- I repeat -very thrilling moment.  I felt an overwhelming gust of pride blow over me as I spun, and spun, and spun until Under the Sea became my 3rd handspun yarn!  Here is the eye candy... ;)

Here is the roving I used...

Under the Sea is a medium weight yarn spun out of targhee fiber.  I adore the colors, and I think the orange bits of yarn stand out and make this handspun look a bit more interesting.

It's pretty consistent, except in a few small areas that I am not going to stress about. :)  I haven't measured the yardage but I will do that very soon.


I'm glad it turned out the way it did.  While I was plying it I was afraid that the colors would clash and look awkward together, especially with the foam greens and orangey browns.  However, Under the Sea was a success, and I'm proud of it!  I can't wait to improve and spin some more.
