Fiber Art Friday: Fiber Celebration, part 6

I started swatching with my Tibetan Mastiff, opposite-spun yarn  last week.

I found my US3 needles with an alpaca project,

and a cashmere project.

But the short circs were free...  I think we're close with the US3 needles.

So I also tried US2.

Both of these swatches are standard knit.

I feel like the US2 is very close to my desired fabric.  So I'm off to practice casting on with two strands and starting a swatch with twined knit technique and US2 needles.

One awesome revelation: I now spin at a fine-enough and consistent-enough quality, that I can use US2 needles on a 3-ply yarn.  :-D

Happy Fiber Arts Friday!
