is anything more satisfying than taking on a new crafting project and succeeding wildly? this is some licorice twist yarn i just dyed up. latt had the brilliant idea that the colorway should be called gingerbread house. it's 560 yards of merino yarn, 7.8 oz.
the licorice twist is a neat yarn. one of the plys take dye more deeply than the others, which creates an interesting variation--almost a tweedy effect. this is supposed to be self-striping, but i'm honestly not sure if that's true or not. i did lengths of color about four feet, so some items, knitted up, will stripe, while others won't. at any rate, the colors turned out very well.
and balling yarn is a new favorite pastime--very meditative!
