Did I mention that Helen is not an earth-toned kind of person? I was secretly (and now, openly) cheering that little fact when I realized that I need to clear off all the bobbins that would be returned with the wheel. I had very finely spun some BFL/silk roving with the intention of making a two-ply but I never got around to spinning the second ply. Suddenly, I needed to ply it with...
something. I searched around and found some Shetland on my Majacraft bobbins. It would have to do, although I had my doubts about the colour combination.
The whole time I was plying, I was regretting wasting such gorgeous yarn by sticking these two incompatible colour schemes together. Once again, I was totally wrong! After a good soaking and drying overnight, the result is beautiful! Once again, you just can never tell until it's done.
And that earth-toney goodness is all mine!
(She clutches it to her breast and runs away, laughing.)
