Found a new-to-me fiber dyer on Etsy, DnD Fibers<\/a>, and purchased 8oz of one colorway and 8oz of another to spin up. They are both 85% polwarth and 15% tussah silk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One colorway was a soft pink, a purple leaning pink, a steely gray, and white, and the other was soft pink leaning lavender, the steely gray, and a medium brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Started spinning the first of 4 bobbins before Tour de Fleece, and then spun nearly every day during the tour, finishing a little while after. It made a good relaxing spin because I knew I had a large quantity to spin and was able to just focus on spinning it the weight it wanted to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally planned to spun as a 4-ply, but as I was working on it, I decided that would give me a heavier yarn than I wanted to work with. It still turned into a DK and I was anticipating heavy Fingering-Sport based on how it looked. I think it will poof up into the DK when soaking nicely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
