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.
its gorgeous well done spinning is always so thrilling
