I'm always left with several yards on one single while the other is all plyed. So great to hear you're getting rain.AllyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09725757369290716724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193450499711699622.post-69574130040362781102012-07-07T01:40:30.576-06:002012-07-07T01:40:30.576-06:00Kathryn--Yes...your 'perfect' photo really...Kathryn--Yes...your 'perfect' photo really is!

But I have plenty of wool and having read a little about corriedale/alpaca yarn (Ellen M) and a shawl with 2 weights (Needle and Wheel Designs) certainly is engaging some gears.Kathryn Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990925295124938262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193450499711699622.post-60530028733107915222012-07-06T21:29:31.351-06:002012-07-06T21:29:31.351-06:00Those gray singles plied up just super!

Maybe a cowl or something? I think they'd look stunning together.<br /><br />And hurray for rain!!!!!!Voie de Viehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04863741631512546821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193450499711699622.post-30067698407111147772012-07-06T19:52:04.072-06:002012-07-06T19:52:04.072-06:00I love the final grey yarn too!
